See `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@gnu.org. (See the `Bugs' section of the manual +for discussion of how to submit an effective bug report.) + +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. + +Karl Berry karl@cs.umb.edu +Kathryn Hargreaves letters@cs.umb.edu |
