VERSION
  This README.txt describes the allrunes version 2.0

CHANGES
  1.0  First public release.
  1.01 Removed a few remaining 8-bit characters from
       frum.mf. They didn't work with the new MiKTeX
       package handling system. Also added a lost table,
       added an example and corrected a few spelling
       mistakes in the documentation.
  2.0  Added type1 versions for the main types of the
       allrunes fonts, and support for them in the LaTeX package.
       Merged the former Scandinavian-Gothic and the Continental
       font families to a Common Germanic font family. Renamed the
       commands for flipping and turning runes. Made the commands
       for flipping and turning runes work for all six font families.
       Inserted kerning information for the Common Germanic and
       Anglo-Frisian font families. Complemented the sets of runes
       with a few more, especially the Medieval one. Corrected many
       spelling mistakes in the documentation.

REQUIREMENTS
  The installation of the allrunes package requires the docstrip
  package. Using the allrunes package requires the ifthen package.
  Processing the documentation for the allrunes package requires
  the fontenc package and the ec fonts. I do not know what version
  of LaTeX is required.

INSTALLATION (OF THE LATEX PACKAGE AND THE METAFONT SOURCE FILES)
  The installation procedure is described in the documentation, but
  since there is weak catch 22, in that you might need the fonts to
  produce the documentation, and you might need the documentation to
  install the fonts, it's also described here.

  1. Download the files allrunes.ins and allrunes.dtx to a preferably
     empty directory. If you intend to keep the documentation, you'd
     better create a suitable directory and put the files there right
     now; like
       <tex doc base>/fonts/allrunes/
     In a typical MiKTeX system it would be
       C:\texmf\doc\fonts\allrunes\
     In a teTeX system it might be like
       /usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf/doc/fonts/allrunes/
  2. Start a window where you can enter commands from the keyboard,
     i.e. get an DOS prompt on a Windows machine or a xterm-window
     on a UNIX/linux machine.
  3. Go to the directory where you did put the files allrunes.dtx
     and allrunes.ins
  4. Run the command
       latex allrunes.ins
     Wait. There are 231 files to be generated.
  5. Move all the 224 *.mf files to a suitable directory, preferably
       <font source base>/public/allrunes/
     which in a typical MiKTeX system would be
       C:\texmf\fonts\source\public\allrunes\
     In a teTeX system it might be like
       /usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf/fonts/source/public/allrunes/
  6. Move the 6 *.fd files and the file allrunes.sty
     to a suitable directory, preferably
       <tex base>/tex/latex/allrunes/
     which in a typical MiKTeX system would be
       C:\texmf\tex\latex\allrunes\
     In a typical teTeX system it would be like
       /usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf/tex/latex/allrunes/
  7. Refresh the file name database. In MiKTeX you would run
     the command
       initexmf -u
     or find it somewhere in Start|Program|MiKTeX...
     In teTeX you would run
       texhash
  8. Run the command
       latex allrunes.dtx
     to produce the documentation and test the installation.
     Run it one more time to resolve the references, before
     you view it.

INSTALLATION (OF THE TYPE1 FONT FILES)

     Installation of the type1 fonts requires the allrunes package
     to be installed according to the above description. Be sure
     that both LaTeX and dvips works fine with the Metafont
     fonts before you install the type1 fonts.

  1. Copy all the files (named fru??8z.pfb) from the type1/pfb
     directory to a suitable directory, preferably
       <type1 font base>/public/allrunes
     which in a typical MiKTeX system would be
       C:\texmf\fonts\type1\public\allrunes\
     In a teTeX system it might be like
       /usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf/fonts/type1/public/allrunes/
  2. Copy all the files (named fru??8z.tfm) from the type1/tfm
     directory to a suitable directory, preferably
       <tfm base>/public/allrunes
     which in a typical MiKTeX system would be
       C:\texmf\fonts\tfm\public\allrunes\
     In a teTeX system it might be like
       /usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf/fonts/tfm/public/allrunes/
  3a.Copy the file allrunes.map from the type1 directory
     to some suitable directory, like
       <dvips base>/allrunes
     which in a typical MiKTeX system would be
       C:\texmf\dvips\allrunes\
     In a teTeX system it might be like
       /usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf/dvips/allrunes/
  4a.Edit the file
       <dvips base>/config/config.ps
     and add the line:
       p +allrunes.map
     somewhere AFTER the line
       p psfonts.map
  5a.If you intend to use pdflatex, then edit the file
       <pdftex base>/config/pdftex.cfg
     and add the line
       map +allrunes
     AFTER the line
       map psfonts.map
  6a.For other programs, like dvipdfm, it might be necessary to
     edit additional configuration files.
3-6b.Since most (all?) of those programs seems to use the file
       <dvips base>/config/psfonts.map
     an alternative to editing the configurations files is to
     append the file allrunes.map to the file psfonts.map.

     Note that you might have to do this again, either editing
     the configuration files or appending to the psfonts.map file
     whenever you upgrade your TeX-system.
  7. Refresh the file name database, see paragraph 7 above.
  8. Refresh the PostScript resource database. In MiKTeX you would run
     the command
       initexmf --verbose --search --mkpsres
     In teTeX I don't think you have to do it.
  9. Edit the file ar_demo.tex (or some other file using the
     allrunes fonts and package) and change the line
       \usepackage{allrunes}
     to
       \usepackage[type1]{allrunes}
     Then run
       latex ar_demo
     and
       dvips ar_demo
     Look at the output when dvips is running; the names of the
     pfb files should appear, like frunmn8z.pfb.
     You might also try
       pdflatex ar_demo
