\noindent
This document describes the \texttt{SkakNew} fonts. They're a set of
PostScript\texttrademark{} \mbox{Type-1} fonts converted by
\texttt{mftrace/autotrace} from \Metafont{} sources based on the
\texttt{Skak} fonts by Torben Hoffmann and Dirk B�chle which
themselves are based on \texttt{chess} by Piet Tutelaers.

But this was only the first step. A lot of work went into cleaning
the outlines (reducing nodes, adding missing extremes, correcting
wrong outline direction, etc.pp.). The next step included better
glyph metrics both horizontally \& vertically, better sidebearings
and consistent axis height (adapted to the values of \texttt{Computer
Modern})~\ldots

\newpage
To use the diagram font with the \texttt{skak} package you have to
redefine
\begin{verbatim}
   \def\setup@showboard#1{\font\Skak=SkakNew-Diagram at#1pt%
      [...]}
\end{verbatim}

For diagrams in very small sizes there's a supplemental font\newline
\texttt{SkakNew-DiagramT} with fewer \& thicker diagonal strokes.
