+This is version 1.2 of the starfont package by Matthew Skala, containing two
+public-domain astrological fonts designed by Anthony I.P. Owen, and the
+appropriate macros to use them with TeX and LaTeX.
+
+FILES IN THIS PACKAGE
+
+Documentation:
+
+COPYING - notice describing the public domain status of this package
+README - this documentation file
+starfont.pdf - ready-made PDF of the user manual
+table.pdf - character tables generated by testfont
+
+Source files, preserved in case others want to reproduce my work, but not
+actually needed to use the package (it is safe to delete these):
+
+STRFNSAN.TTF - StarFontSans, original TrueType format
+STRFNSER.TTF - StarFontSerif, original TrueType format
+Makefile - machine-readable instructions for building the package
+starfont.tex - source code for the manual

+StarFontSans font in Postscript format:

+strfnser.afm - metrics
+strfnser.pfb - binary font outlines

+fsts8x.tfm - TeX metrics for StarFontSerif
+starfont.sty - LaTeX macro package
+starfont.map - font mapping file
+
+INSTALLATION
+
+This may vary depending on the version of TeX you have installed; the
+suggested procedure below seems to work on my Linux TeXLive 2010 system.
+I'm attempting to follow the TDS for where things go, but am no expert in
+that. You may well need to modify the procedure for your own system or
+distribution.
+
+The name "TEXMF" refers to the base of your TeX/Metafont installation tree;
+on my system, using /usr/local/texlive/texmf-local seems to work except as
+noted.
+
+* put starfont.sty in TEXMF/tex/latex/local
+* put starfont.map in TEXMF/fonts/map/local (I had to create this directory)
+* put fstr8x.tfm and fsts8x.tfm in TEXMF/fonts/tfm/local
+* put starfont.afm and strfnser.afm in TEXMF/fonts/afm/local
+* put starfont.pfb and strfnser.pfb in TEXMF/fonts/type1/local
+* put any documentation files you want to keep in TEXMF/doc/latex/starfont
+* add a line saying "Map starfont.map" to TEXMF/web2c/updmap.cfg
+ WARNING: This line has to be added to the updmap.cfg that your updmap
+ actually reads, and it may be a file you shouldn't edit by hand. On my
+ system, I found /usr/local/texlive/2010/texmf-config/web2c/updmap.cfg with
+ a comment at the top explaining that the right way to add lines to it was to
+ create a new file TEXMF/web2c/updmap-local.cfg containing the new lines, and then
+ run "tlmgr generate updmap" . Your installation may vary.
+* run mktexlsr so TeX can find all these files. This may have to be done as
+ root (or an administrative user).
+* run updmap for the appropriate scope. On my system that means running
+ "updmap-sys" as root; just running "updmap" , even as root, only updates
+ the per-user config for the user I'm running it under.
