<h2 class="chapter">Introduction</h2>

<p>This is Fontname, a naming scheme for (the base part of) external TeX
font filenames.  This makes at most eight-character names from (almost)
arbitrarily complex font names, thus helping portability of TeX
documents.  We point out some shortcomings of the scheme, and ways of
dealing with them.

   <p>Please send additions, corrections, or other comments to
<a href="mailto:tex-fonts@tug.org">tex-fonts@tug.org</a>.  Email
<a href="mailto:tex-fonts-request@tug.org">tex-fonts-request@tug.org</a> to join the list.

   <p>Besides this document, the Fontname distribution includes various
encoding files, mapping files, and utilities.  See the file
<code>README</code> for details.  You can retrieve the most up-to-date
version of these lists from <a href="http://tug.org/fontname">http://tug.org/fontname</a>.  It is
also mirrored on all CTAN hosts in the directory
<code>tex-archive/doc/fontname</code>.  For a list of CTAN mirrors, see
