== RC Fonts Package version 0.1 <2010/01/10> ==
===============================================

* OVERVIEW

This package contains the whole set of the Concrete Roman fonts (designed
by Donald E. Knuth) and the Concrete Math fonts (created by Ulrik Vieth
after the design of Concrete Roman) in Type1 format. Note that it only
contains fonts in OT1 and math encodings and not those that are part of
European Concrete (in encodings T1, T2A, etc.) since they are covered by
the CM-Super collection.

The Type1 fonts in this package were created by auto-tracing the original
METAFONT sources using TeXtrace (developed by Szabo Peter) and then
postprocessing the resulted fonts using FontForge (developed by George
Williams). The base-name of the font files are different from that of
the original METAFONT files in that the occurence of 'cc' is replaced
with 'rc', so that collision with the commercial Type1 fonts provided
by MicroPress will be avoided. ('RC' stands for 'reinforced concrete'.
Don't ask me the reason of this name! :) )

* INSTALLATION

This package contains the following files:
  type1/*.pfb  -- Type1 font files
  afm/*.afm    -- AFM files, usually not needed in TeX
  rcfonts.map  -- Font map file for dvips (& updmap)

In modern TeX systems (i.e. following TDS 1,1 and equipped with updmap),
the following procedure should work (here $TEXMF denotes the root path
of one of the texmf trees):
  1. Put all *.pfb files into the Kpathsearch path for Type1 fonts (e.g.
     $TEXMF/fonts/type1/public/rcfonts/).
  2. Put rcfonts.map into the Kpathsearch path for dvips map files (e.g.
     $TEXMF/fonts/map/dvips/rcfonts/).
  3. Add the following line to updmap.cfg (updmap configuration file,
     usually found at $TEXNF/web2c):
       Map rcfonts.map
     Then update the font maps by invoking "updmap".
     Alternatively, invoking "updmap --add rcfonts.map" will automatically
     do all in this step for you.
