This file is part of the NFSS (New Font Selection Scheme) package.
IMPORTANT NOTICE:
You are not allowed to change this file.
Abstract:
=========
NFSS2 is a new font selection mechanism for LaTeX and other TeX macro
packages.
Installation:
=============
These instructions assume that you already have installed a
near-standard LaTeX system.
The whole process will take about one hour on a 16MHz 386 machine.
1 Read this readme file carefully.
2 Process nfssinst.ltx with LaTeX and read this document carefully.
It will tell you how to produce a LaTeX format containing NFSS2.
3 Run the installation scripts through TeX or LaTeX as explained in
nfssinst.ltx. This will generate many new files for you in the
current directory.
4 Run IniTeX with nfss2ltx as the input file or with some other file
that inputs nfss2ltx.tex (in case you want a different name for the
format file).
5 Test the new format by processing main.drv with it. This should
give you a long document with information about the NFSS2 files.
Notice that if you don't have all the fonts used in this document
you may get warnings from LaTeX+NFSS2 telling you that it could not
find all of the fonts and substituted some others, but the result
should be a valid document if you processed the installation
scripts in step 3) correctly and you have the standard TeX fonts.
6 Move the newly created format file to your format directory. Note
that on some systems, you might need to do some additional steps to
make the new NFSS2 format easily available. You should be able to
find the necessary information in your TeX installation guide.
7 Move all style files to your style file directory.
8 Move all font definition files (.fd) to a directory searched by
TeX. This can be the style file directory on most systems.
9 This finishes the installation.
Documentation:
==============
The file interfac.ltx contains a short interface description of all
commands in in form of a LaTeX document. It isn't polished, sorry for
this (any volunteers?). Note that this needs a NFSS2 based formats to
process.
You can get a pretty-printed documentation of several files in the
distribution by running the *.drv files (except for main.drv) through
LaTeX. The file main.drv will produce the complete documentation. If
you process this file you don't need to process any other *.drv file.
The full description of the user interface will appear in the
forthcoming book:
@book(A-W:GMS93,
author = {Michel Goossens and Frank Mittelbach and
Alexander Samarin},
title = {The {\LaTeX} Companion (tentative title)},
publisher = Addison-Wesley,
address = Reading, Massachusetts,
year = 1993,
bibliography = {yes},
index = {yes},
note = {to appear},
)
Related packages:
=================
Packages related to NFSS, such as AMS-LaTeX, are currently
being updated and will be available within short time.
Until AMS-LaTeX has been updated, the authors have obtained permission
from the AMS to distribute versions of the AMS files that have been
changed to work with NFSS2.
The PSNFSS package by Sebastian Rahtz for using PostScript fonts has
been merged into this NFSS2 distribution; support for the common 35
Abode PostScript fonts is installed automatically. Support for other
PostScript fonts is distributed as contributed software; for more
information see the file readme.ps.
General warning:
================
A lot of work still needs to be done, some files are only partly
converted etc. and therefore not in the distribution. Also there are
probably some bugs still in the code.
Nevertheless I hope that you enjoy the new release and find it useful.

List of distributed files:
==========================
Master installation files:
-------------------------
main.ins This installation script does the full installation.
main.drv Main driver file to produce a single documentation
file from all .dtx and .fdd files. Some parts of this
document will look better if used under NFSS2 but the
file is processable without having NFSS2 running.
nfssinst.ltx Description how to build a LaTeX+NFSS2 format.
Read this before doing anything else.
Additional Documentation:
-------------------------
interfac.ltx This file contains a short but hopefully complete
description of the interfaces for NFSS2. This needs
NFSS2 for processing it.
