eiad* -- iad's Computer Modern Irish Family of Founts
-----------------------------------------------------
The package contains the following files:
Leigh_me This file.
eiad10.mf Regular 10 point.
eiadbf10.mf Boldface 10 point.
eireannach.mf Driver file.
eira.mf Irish diacritics and macros.
eirl.mf Irish lowercase letters.
eiru.mf Irish uppercase letters.
In both lower and upper case 32 letters are defined (18 `plain' ones,
5 long vowels and 9 aspirated consonants). The ligature `agus' is
also made available. The remaining characters (digits, punctuation
and accents) are inherited from the Computer Modern family of founts.
You'll find that the file eiad10.mf, on which you'll have to run
MetaFont in order to obtain the regular 10 point Irish fount, refers
to a file called Fr10.mf, which is not included in the package. It
will only take you a few seconds to make that file; it is obtained
from cmr10.mf by removing everything up to `font_identifier:=CMR;'
and the last line (`generate roman;'). The file Fbf10.mf, mentioned
in eiadbf10.mf, is related in the same way to cmbx10.mf; and
similarly you can make Irish founts of any other shapes and sizes.
Within TeX the accented Irish letters are accessible as ligatures, in
a manner consistent with the usage on Gaelic-L. A vowel followed by a
slash yields a long vowel; a lowercase consonant followed by `h', or
an uppercase consonant followed by either `H' or `h', yields an
aspirated consonant. (The latter only works with those consonants
which actually undergo aspiration; for such things as `n' with a dot,
as found in some old texts, the standard TeXnique (in this case {\.n})
must be used.) The ligature `agus' is accessed as s` (`s'-backquote).
