+Copyright (C) 1987 Princeton University
+
+These fonts by Silvio Levy are partly based on Don Knuth's
+Computer Modern family of fonts. They are distributed WITHOUT
+ANY WARRANTY, express or implied. Please send comments,
+suggestions, etc. to levy@princeton.edu
+
+IMPORTANT NOTE:
+
+These fonts make use of the 256-character capabilities of gf
+format. They cannot be converted to the obsolete PXL format which
+allows only 128 characters. If you are still using PXL format
+drivers, it is time to convert. If you are using a gf format
+driver with only 128 character capacity, you are missing
+something. See doc/install.tex.
+
+Metafont must have |max_in_open| increased (to 10) to compile
+these fonts as they stand. The appropriate change has been added
+to the change files on the UnixTeX distribution. If you're
+getting these fonts other than from the TeX distribution, and if
+you don't have access to Metafont source, you'll have to merge
+some files before you attempt compilation:
+
+ In src/s.mf, replace the line readfrom("gen_sigma") by the
+ contents of src/gen_sigma.mf.
+ In src/lower.mf, replace each line by the contents of the
+ corresponding file; for instance, replace readfrom("a") by
+ the contents of src/a.mf.
+ In greek.mf, right after the line that says ``font_setup''
+ insert the lines
+
+ readfrom("gen_acc");
+ readfrom("gen_sigma");
+
+HMC:
+At HMC a couple of modifications have been made to the MF files:
+
+ The definition of readfrom has been changed so that no
+ directory information is present.
+ accent.mf has been renamed graccent.mf and punct.mf has been
+ renamed grpunct.mf to prevent conflicts with CM files.
