+ to \TeX's repertoire of characters. They also work in sub- and
+ superscripts, {\it e.g.}, \$\t{M}\_\cs{Jupiter}\$ will give
+ $M_\Jupiter$.
+
+ In order to use the fonts you must create and install \t{tfm} and
+ bitmap files as well as the two \TeX\ sources \t{astro.tex} and
+ \t{astro.sty} in a place where \TeX\ will find them. Then
+
+\item{$\bullet$} In \LaTeX\ you should use the ``\t{[astro]}'' document style
+ option, {\it e.g.},
+$$
+ \cs{documentstyle[astro,12pt]\{article\}}
+$$
+
+\item{$\bullet$} With plain \TeX\ and \AMS-\TeX\ you should add the line
+$$
+ \cs{input astro}
+$$
+ in the preamble of your document.
