+Doublestroke Font V1.111 27th of August, 2002
+------------------------
+
+This font is based on the Computer Modern Roman family of fonts
+by D. E. Knuth. It is useful for typesetting the mathematical
+symbols for the natural numbers (N), whole numbers (Z),
+rational numbers (Q), real numbers (R) and complex numbers (C).
+
+
+License
+-------
+
+You may use and distribute these fonts as you like.
+You may modify these fonts as long as you do not
+rename the files to one of those names that
+Donald E. Knuth chose for the Computer Modern fonts.
+(And seriously, who would want to do that?)
+
+
+How to Install
+--------------
+
+1. If a previous version of this font is installed, remove all
+the files, especially the font files that were generated by
+Metafont after the first installation.
+
+2. Depending on how you obtained this package it might be
+necessary to unpack/uncompress an archive. Now the files
+
+dsdoc.dvi dsrom12.pfb dsss10.mf dsss8.tfm
+dsdoc.ps dsrom12.tfm dsss10.pfb dstroke.map
+dsdoc.tex dsrom8.mf dsss10.tfm readme
+dsfont.sty dsrom8.pfb dsss12.mf Udsrom.fd
+dsrom10.mf dsrom8.tfm dsss12.pfb Udsss.fd
+dsrom10.pfb dsrom.mf dsss12.tfm
+dsrom10.tfm dsromo.mf dsss8.mf
+dsrom12.mf dsromu.mf dsss8.pfb
+
+should be present.
+
+3. Make sure you have TeX, LaTeX (with NFSS), and Metafont
+installed. Make sure that cmbase.mf is accessible by Metafont.
+
+4. Move the files to their destination.
+
+The files are and are needed by
+ *.tfm TeX font metric files TeX
+ *.fd font defintions TeX
+ *.sty style files TeX
+ *.mf Metafont sources Metafont
+
+The exact location where the files belong depends on your
+installation. As a first approximation, install them
+near other files with the same extension.
+
+5. Verify the installation by generating the documentation.
+Run `latex dsdoc' and have a look at the file dsdoc.dvi which
+contains the documentation and usage samples.
+
+6. If you want to use the PostScript fonts, you have to make
+them known to dvips and/or PDFTeX. The details of
+this process depend on your system installation,
+typically using the mapping information from the
+file dstroke.map and following further instructions
+contained in the main manual.
+
+7. After reading the examples in the file dsdoc you can
+use the fonts in your own documents.
+
+
+
+After the Installation
+----------------------
+
+Do not worry, most installations complete without any problems.
+However, if the procedure described above does not work, I suggest
+the following actions:
+ - If LaTeX complains about a missing input file, check whether
+ the files *.fd and *.sty are accessible and readable.
+ - If LaTeX complains about a missing font, check the
+ placement of the files *.tfm .
+ - If LaTeX issues strange errors, you might have an old version
+ of LaTeX or NFSS. Try using the fonts with low-level font
+ commands instead of dsfont.sty and check the next item, too.
+ - If LaTeX issues strange errors, the files might have been
+ corrupted during transmission. Conversions of CR, LF, and
+ so on might cause this problem.
+ - If the previewer or the printer driver complains about missing
+ fonts and does not automatically call Metafont to generate
+ these font, either adapt your installation or generate
+ the fonts by hand. Depending on your installation you
+ must run something like
+ mf '\mode=localfont; input dsrom10'
+ for each of the fonts.
+ - If Metafont is called and complains about missing source
+ files, check whether these (*.mf) are placed correctly.
+ - If Metafont is called and complains about strange paths
+ or about paths that do not intersect, you are probably
+ generating the font at a lower resolution than 100 dpi.
+ There is little you can do except ignoring the errors or
+ telling Metafont to do so. Please report such errors only
+ if they occur at resolutions above 100 dpi.
+ - If the previewer or the printer driver complains about missing
+ characters, check whether you have deleted all files from
+ previous versions of this font.
+ - If the previewer or the printer driver complains about a
+ checksum error, check whether you have deleted all files from
+ previous versions of this font.
+
+If that does not help and your friendly TeXnician is unavailable,
+drop me a mail. I will try to help you, if time permits.
+
+I am always glad to hear about improvements and bug reports,
+general comments are appreciated, too.
