+ How to use MLTeX with LaTeX
+

+ 17 November 1998
+
+
+This document contains instructions on how to use MLTeX's \charsubdef
+extension with LaTeX. Before reading this file, you should read
+`install.txt', which will explain how the LaTeX installation works.
+
+This file describes:
+
+ * How to create the LaTeX format with MLTeX.
+
+ * How to use MLTeX with LaTeX.
+
+
+
+CREATING THE LaTeX FORMAT
+=========================
+
+To create the LaTeX format, you should follow the standard LaTeX
+installation guide.
+
+ - Do NOT include any MLTeX specific file into your LaTeX format!
+
+ - Do NOT use the obsolete files `compatible.tex', `extdef.tex',
+ `masthyph.tex', or any other file from the old MLTeX distribution!
+
+ - Depending on your TeX implementation there is either a special
+ version of the `initex' program provided which is called `mlinitex',
+ `initex -mltex', or `tex -ini -mltex'.
+ Use this program resp. command line options when creating the LaTeX
+ format.
+
+As a result your LaTeX format file `latex.fmt' should not contain any
+MLTeX specific definitions or declarations.
+
+
+
+USING THE MLTeX EXTENSION
+=========================
+
+To enable the MLTeX extension, you simply use the standard LaTeX
+package `fontenc' with the MLTeX font encoding LO1 instead of OT1,
+e.g. replace
+
+ \usepackage[T1,OT1]{fontenc}
+
+by
+
+ \usepackage[T1,LO1]{fontenc}
+
+which will choose LO1 as the default font encoding. If you want to
+choose another default font encoding, you can switch to LO1 by
+
+ \fontencoding{LO1}\selectfont
+
+within your document. Nonetheless you have to declare the new font
+encoding `LO1' by loading it using the package `fontenc'.
+
+For LaTeX's font encoding OT1 the associated MLTeX font encoding is
+provided with a basic set of fd files. This font encoding is called
+LO1 (for M_L_TeX's _O_T1) and is a superset of OT1.
+
+
+Another simpler way to use this MLTeX extended font encoding is
+provided by the package `mltex'. By including
+
+ \usepackage{mltex}
+
+in the document preamble all references to OT1 will get replaced by
+LO1. If you don't want to hide OT1 totally, you can select LO1 as
+usual default font encoding by using the package option `switchonly',
+e.g. by including
+
+ \usepackage[switchonly]{mltex}
+
+in the document preamble.
