+
+ To install the bundle:
+o If you want MetaFont sources uncomment the appropriate lines in nabatean.ins.
+o run: latex nabatean.ins, which will generate:
+ nabatean.sty
+ *.fd files
+ nabatean.map
+ and possibly nab10.mf
+o Move *.sty and *.fd files to a location where LaTeX will find them
+ e.g., .../texmf-local/tex/latex/nabatean
+o Move *.afm, *.pfb and *.tfm files to where LaTeX looks for font information
+ e.g., .../texmf-var/fonts/afm/public/archaic/*.afm
+ .../texmf-var/fonts/type1/public/archaic/*.pfb
+ .../texmf-var/fonts/tfm/public/archaic/*.tfm
+o Add the *.map information to the dvips/pdftex font maps
+ If you want the MetaFont version as well:
+ o Move the *.mf files to, e.g., .../texmf-var/fonts/source/public/nabatean
+ o Add a line like the following to the (texmf/fontname/)special.map file:
+ nab10.mf public nabatean
+o Refresh the database
+ (for more information on the above see the FAQ).
+
+o run: (pdf)latex trynabatean for a test of the font
+
+ If you want a full manual with all the MetaFont and LaTeX code and commentry,
+comment out the \OnlyDescription line in nabatean.dtx.
+o run: (pdf)latex nabatean.dtx
+o (for an index run: makeindex -s gind.ist *.idx)
+o run: (pdf)latex *.dtx
+o Print *.(pdf|dvi) for a hardcopy of the package manual

+ The protosem package provides fonts for the Proto-Semitic script in use
+about 1600 BC, and which may have been a very early ancestor of many of the
+world's alphabets. Files for using the font with LaTeX are also included.
+This is one of a series of ancient fonts.
+
+ The distribution consists of the following files:
+README (this file)
+protosem.ins
+protosem.dtx
+tryfont.tex
+
+ The distribution is provided under the terms of the LaTeX
+Project Public License (LPPL).
+
+Changes in version 1.1
+----------------------
+o Minor changes to the glyph encoding to match other fonts in the series
+
+ To install the package:
+o run: latex protosem.ins, which will generate:
+ proto*.mf files
+ *.fd files
+ protosem.sty
+o run: latex protosem.dtx
+o run: makeindex -s gind.ist protosem
+o run: latex protosem.dtx
+o Print protosem.dvi for a hardcopy of the package manual
+o Move the generated files to locations where LaTeX will find them.
+ For example: the *.fd and .sty files to .../local/texmf/tex/latex/protosem
+ the proto*.mf files to .../texmf/fonts/source/public/protosem
+ On a teTeX distribution you might also have to add the following
+ line to texmf/fontname/special.map:
+ proto10.mf public protosem
+ On a teTeX distribution remember to run texhash after moving the files.
+
+o run: latex tryfont for a testpage of the Proto-Semitic font
