The distribution contains the following directories: * mf/ This directory contains the source files for the font in its various flavours. Following the TeX Directory Standard, this directory has to be copied somewhere inside .../texmf/fonts/source. The files in this directory are the following: - frcursive.mf This is the main source file, it contains general parameter definitions and the shape of all glyphs, depending on parameters that should be defined in driver files. - mkdrv.sh This shell script is used to generate driver files with appropriate parameters for various sizes and variants. Run it with no parameters to get a description of the syntax. - frca10.mf, frcw10.mf Example driver files with non-standard parameters. The "frca" variant is an "academic" one, i.e. with integer ratios between base height, ascenders and descenders. The "frcw" variant is a modification of the standard "frcr10" with wide inter-letter links. - Makefile This is used to build the standard set of sources. The directory also contains a set of driver files produced by "mkdrv.sh". * latex/ This directory contains support sources for LaTeX. The directory has to be copied somewhere in .../texmf/tex/latex (in the case of teTeX, I don't know the other distributions). The following files are present: - t1frc.fd The font is defined in the T1 (TeX text extended) encoding, thus providing (most of) the standard Latin-1 accented letters. This file is the associated NFSS font definition. - frcursive.dtx, frcursive.ins The Docstrip literate source for the LaTeX support package. The ".ins" file is the script to make the proper ".sty" package file. - Makefile This contains the rule to make the package out of its literate source. To build the formatted documentation, use the Makefile from the doc/ directory. * doc/ This directory contains various pieces of documentation associated to the font. - COPYING This is the copyright terms that apply to the font's sources, i.e. the General Public License. - FILES This file... - fcsource.tex This is a driver file for pretty-printing the Metafont sources, it contains some TeX macros that are used when typesetting the TeX file produced by mft from frcursive.mf. - Makefile This contains rules to build Postscript versions of the pretty-printed source and the documentation for the LaTeX support package. * test/ This directory contains some files used to test the font. - Makefile Just some rules to compile the examples. - figs.tex, chars.mp This is an experiment at using the font's sources to produce Metapost figures. Just use "make figs.ps" to make it compile. - tfrc.tex, lttst.tex Two raw test files, in Plain TeX and LaTeX respectively, that I use during developement. - txt-fr.tex, txt-en.tex These two example files are longer texts typeset using French Cursive variants (the first chapter of "Les Trois Mousquetaires" by Dumas and "Robinson Crusoe" by Defoe, respectively).
