+The folders in this folder contain Mac versions of the Marvosym fount and
+configuration files to set up OzTeX to use these founts. To use them with
+LaTeX, you also need the marvosym package used by everyone else, kept in
+the folder above this.
+
+This Mac version of Marvosym is based on the Y&Y re-worked version of
+Marvosym, and the metrics are very slightly different to the original.
+For this reason, you should use the tfm file in OzTeX:TeX-fonts:Misc:
+rather than the original tfm file.
+
+The system fount files themselves are kept in the file the_font.bin, which
+is a MacBinary encoded Stuffit compressed archive. This should not be
+decoded or decompressed until it's safely on a Mac. StuffitExpander from
+http://www.aladdinsys.com will do the job.
