+Package name: Yi for LaTeX, v. 0.1
+
+Author: Oliver Corff
+
+Description: Yi for LaTeX provides support for writing all
+ standardized Yi characters in LaTeX documents. The
+ language Yi is spoken by the Yi nationality (also
+ known as Lolo) in Southern China (namely in Sichuan,
+ Guizhou, Yunnan and Guangxi). The script is a purely
+ syllabic script which was developed on the basis of
+ an older, ideographic system.
+
+ All 1165 characters are provided in two typefaces,
+ regular and boldface and can be accessed by their
+ syllable names.
+
+Requirements: LaTeX2e. The package relies on the NFSS
+ mechanism and will probably not work with LaTeX209.
+
+Comments: The version number will increase once the following
+ things happen:
+ - Review of the character set (at present, glyph shapes
+ were defined after books, without feedback
+ from native speakers)
+ - Inclusion of the Yi syllable set in ISO 10646 and
+ Unicode. The final arrangement may differ
+ from the present arrangement.
+ - Improvement of the user interface.
