- This directory contains the GNU font utilities. See `ChangeLog' or
- `GNUmakefile.in' for the version number. See `NEWS' for changes by release.
-
- See the Texinfo manual in doc/ for installation and usage information.
- The file INSTALL contains a copy of the installation instructions, as
- plain text.
-
- Send bug reports for the programs or documentation to
- bug-gnu-utils@prep.ai.mit.edu. (See the `Bugs' section of the manual
- for discussion of how to submit an effective bug report.)
-
- Since there is no help-gnu-utils, you might as well also send questions
- to bug-gnu-utils.
-
- Suggestions for improvements (in either the programs or the manual), no
- matter how small, are welcome.
-
- The default installation prefix (we'll call it `$prefix') is the parent
- of the directory that contains the command `gcc'. Installing this
- package will create a number of programs in $prefix/bin, and some files
- in $prefix/lib/fontutil which support the programs. (These directories
- will also be created, if they do not exist.)
-
- The GNU font utilities are free software. See the files COPYING*
- for copying permissions.
-
- We need volunteers to help create fonts for the GNU project. You do not
- need to be an expert type designer to help, but you do need to know
- enough about TeX and/or PostScript to be able to install and test new
- fonts. Example: if you know neither (1) the purpose of TeX utility
- program `gftopk' nor (2) what the PostScript `scalefont' command does,
- you probably need more experience before you can help.
-
- If you can volunteer, the first step is to compile the font utilities.
- After that, contact me (karl@gnu.ai.mit.edu). I will get you a scanned
- type specimen image. The manual explains how to use these utilities to
- turn that into a font you can use in TeX or PostScript.
