+============================================================
+
+ Using the Day Roman typeface with LaTeX
+
+============================================================
+ 2003-01-16
+ Walter Schmidt
+ <w-a-schmidt@arcor.de>
+
+
+The "Day Roman" typeface can be used with LaTeX as font
+family "dayrom" or "dayroms". The font family "dayrom"
+exhibits the normal latin character set, whereas "dayroms"
+has the so-called "long s" and an additional ligature c-t.
+For instance, the command
+
+ \renewcommand{\rmdefault}{dayrom}
+
+in the preamble makes LaTeX use Day Roman with normal
+character set as the default roman font family.
+
+Day Roman is supported with T1 (european) and TS1
+(textcompanion) encoding only, so you should issue the
+commands
+
+ \usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
+ \usepackage{textcomp}
+
+in the document preamble. The obsolete OT1 encoding, which
+is still the default with LaTeX, is _not_ supported.
+
+There is one single (roman) variant of the typeface only;
+there are no corresponding italic, bold or smallcaps fonts
+provided!
+
+
+
+Using the long s
+----------------
+When using the font family "dayroms", entering the "s"
+yields the so-called long s. The round s (aka "final s") can
+be created by entering "s:". This method was introduced
+with Y. Haralambous' old-german fonts and has been
+established as a quasi-standard with TeX. The drawback is,
+that \MakeUppercase does not handle "s:" properly.
+
+NB:
+All ready-made combinations of s+accent are built upon the
+round s in the font family dayroms, too. AFAIK, these
+diacritics are only used in languages that must not be
+written with a long s, anyway.
+
+
+
+NFSS classification
+-------------------
+
+encodings family series shape FontName(s)
+.....................................................
+T1, TS1 dayrom m n DayRoman,
+ DayRoman-Expert
+T1, TS1 dayroms m n DayRoman,
+ DayRoman-Expert
+
+The TS1 (textcomopanion) character set is only partially
+covered; however, the Euro sign (\texteuro) is included.
+
+Unlike many other fonts, the kerning table supplied with
+Day Roman covers also most of the accented letters in the
+T1 character set. This results in proper kerning in many
+non-English languages, too.
+
+
+
+About the typeface
+------------------
+The DayRoman and DayRoman-Expert Type1 fonts were made by
+Apostrophiclab <http://www.apostrophiclab.com>; any
+questions regarding the design of the fonts should be
+addressed to <apostrophe@apostrophiclab.com>.
+
+The remainder of this section is an excerpt from the
+original documentation in the archive file day_t1.zip:
+
+The two-tiers font included in this archive, Day Roman, is a
+digitally redrawn version of what has come to be
+historically known as the "Two Line Double Pica Roman", a
+typeface designed by 16th century French punchcutter
+Francois Guyot, and used in numerous books between 1535 and
+1570, most notable of which are J. Steelsius's printing of
+The Bible (1541) and Frisius (1551), Gillis Coppens van
+Diest's printing of Erasmus (1544), Georgius (1544), Serlio
+(1550) and Horatius (1552), and Rotarius's printing of
+Livius Brechtius (1549). The type was also used extensively
+by H. Dunham, and later J. Day, in London (the name Day
+Roman is simply a reference to J. Day having used the type).
+Original matrices of Guyot's roman type are now in the
+Museum Plantin-Moretus in Antwerp.
+
+A 1782 "Sale Catalog & Specimen of the James Foundry" shows
+a reproduction of that same type under the name "Two-Line
+Double Pica Macilent". Some specimens from unknown English
+printers dating back to circa 1650 also show the same
+typeface, but no proper references were given. The last
+recorded reference to Guyot's type can be found in "Type
+Specimen Fascimiles, vol. 1, No. 1 - 15," by John Dreyfus
+et al, printed in London circa 1963.
+
+Some reduced resolution scans of Guyot's roman are also
+included in this directory.
+
+In digitizing this typeface, attention was mainly given to
+duplicate the technical imperfections of 16th century
+printing, which have been lost with today's technologies.
+In order to accomplish this, some digital type design
+conventions have been avoided - things like the uniformity
+of the serifs, overall stroke precision, vertical proportion
+exactitude... While trying to maintain as much fidelity as
+possible to Guyot's original drawings, there was also
+emphasis in testing to ensure good print functionality at
+various text and display sizes. This digitization should
+work nicely when used anywhere from 10 to 30 pt. Some
+design oddities, appealing or otherwise, may appear in
+30+ pt usage.
