+\textemdash{} a set of three decorative fonts in T1 encoding \textemdash
+\end{center}
+
+This package implements three calligraphic fonts I created for fun in 2004 and
+2005, which cover almost all glyphs from T1. The fonts have been created using
+fontforge\footnote{\url{fontforge.sourceforge.net}} and
+potrace\footnote{\url{potrace.sourceforge.net}}.
+
+Installation: Unpack the provided archive file ``\verb!aurical_texmf.zip!'' to
+your local TEXMF directory. Then update your filename database and add the
+mapfile ``aurical.map'' to your dvips and pdftex configuration. For example, in
+te\TeX 3 you have to issue the commands \texttt{texhash} and \texttt{updmap-sys
+--enable aurical.map}. For other systems, consult the corresponding
+documentation.
+
+
+Usage: To use the fonts, just include \verb!\usepackage{aurical}! into the
+preamble of your document. Then you can use the commands \verb!\Fontauri!,
+\verb!\Fontskrivan!, \verb!\Fontlukas! and \verb!\Fontamici! to select one of
+the calligraphic fonts.
+
+\centering
+\fbox{\parbox{0.7\linewidth}{\Fontauri
+Auriocus Kalligraphicus is the first of my calligraphic fonts done in April 2004. It contains all glyphs
+from T1 except perthousandzero, but many of the non-letter glyphs look odd: \# \$ \%. Its name is a pseudo--latin combination of my
+nickname auriocus and the word calligraphic. As the other fonts, it has only oldstyle figures: 0123456789 }}
+
+\fbox{\parbox{0.7\linewidth}{\Fontlukas
+Luk\'a\v s Svatba has been made originally for the design of the cover of a
+mediaeval music CD in 2004.
+In May 2005, a friend asked me to add czech diacritics so he
+could use the font for his wedding (svatba means wedding in czech). I removed
+the long s together with its ligatures, because they are not suitable for
+writing modern czech and renamed the font as a dedication to his wedding. The font
+currently covers the whole T1 encoding.
+
+\Fontamici The original variant with the long s is still available, as shown in
+this paragraph. It is selected by the command \texttt{\char92 Fontamici}.
+% \verb doesnt work here
+It contains a few extra ligatures like Ch, ch, ss, ssi, sk, sl, and a special
+swash character to write the logo of the band: \\ \hspace*{5em}Amici Musicae @ntiquae\\ To
+make room for these additional glyphs\/, some characters had to be withdrawn.
+Besides the standard ligatuares fi, fl, ffi and ffl, which are faked by negative
+kerning, \Fontlukas \v s \Fontamici could be removed, because it is written like
+\v s in ancient czech texts\/. Similiarly, the uppercase german double~s\/,
+perthousandzero and compwordmark are withdrawn to make space for additional
+ligatures\/.}}
+
+\fbox{\parbox{0.7\linewidth}{\Fontskrivan
+The last of the three fonts designed by me, Jana Sk\v rivana, is my cursive handwriting drawn with a
+copperplate calligraphy pen. It's dedicated to a girl, who can sing like a lark
+(sk\v rivan means lark in
+czech) and has been finished in December 2005. Sadly, a printout made with this
+font never looks equally attractive like a real hand-written sample. }}
+
+And now enjoy the fonts!
