+Mathabx fonts series
+--------------------
+
+Last modification: May 16, 2005
+---------------------------------
+
+Summary
+-------
+
+The mathabx series are a large mathematical symbols set designed and
+defined in MetaFont language. Many of common and uncommon symbols can
+be found in these series. Encoding, metrics, designs are not supposed
+to be frozen since improvements, changes of mind can always
+happen. These programs are intended to produce bitmap fonts and a lot
+of care is given about rasterization.
+
+Brief description of the fonts
+------------------------------
+
+mathaXX (XX ranges from 5 to 12): quite common mathematical symbols;
+
+mathbXX (XX ranges from 5 to 12): quite uncommon mathematical symbols;
+
+mathxXX (XX ranges from 5 to 12): large and extensible mathematical
+symbols which fit the two previous series;
+
+mathcXX (XX ranges from 10 to 10): unsupported (yet) since it is an
+incomplete calligraphic series;
+
+mathuXX (XX ranges from 10 to 10): unsupported (forever) since it is a
+too strange symbols series;
+
+mathuxXX (XX ranges from 10 to 10): unsupported (forever) since it is
+a too strange large or extensible symbols series.
+
+Suggested TDS location for all ``.mf'' files:
+---------------------------------------------
+$TEXMF/fonts/source/public/mathabx
+
+Brief description of the (La)TeX files
+--------------------------------------
+
+mathabx.tex: ``plain TeX'' input file which defines the 3 families
+matha (5,7,10), mathb (5,7,10) and mathx (10,10,10) then read
+mathabx.dcl;
+
+mathabx.sty: LaTeX input file which defines the 3 families matha,
+mathb and mathx according to LaTeX fonts selection scheme, then read
+mathabx.dcl;
+
+mathabx.dcl: declaration of every new or conpound symbol.
+
+Suggested TDS location: $TEXMF/tex/generic/misc/
+-----------------------
+
+Support for installation: Almost none.
+-------------------------
+
+Documentation: mathtest.tex, testmac.tex.
+--------------
+
+mathtest.tex is a plain tex file that uses testmac as a macro file and which need that all the fonts should be properly installed. See postscript (or PDF) outputs provided in this distribution.
