This is the file `README' that accompanies the `concmath' LaTeX package:

Description:
------------

This directory contains the documented sources of the `concmath'
package for LaTeX(2e) and the corresponding font definition files
that provide access to the Concrete Math typefaces, which were
derived from the Concrete Roman typefaces designed by Don Knuth.

The Concrete Math fonts (located in CTAN:fonts/concmath) provide a
collection of math italics, math symbol, and math extension fonts
that complement the Concrete Roman fonts (in CTAN:fonts/concrete),
so that Concrete by itself may be used as a complete replacement
for Computer Modern.  Since Concrete is considerably darker than
Computer Modern, this may be of particular interest for use in
low-resolution printing or in display-oriented applications such
as posters or transparencies.

To use this package, you'll need the following sets of fonts:

* Concrete Roman (located in CTAN:fonts/concrete)
* Concrete Math  (located in CTAN:fonts/concmath)

To facilitate the installation, the Concrete Math fonts are made
available through a symbolic link `fonts', so that the contents of
CTAN:fonts/concmath is automatically included as a subdirectory if
you download this directory as a `.zip' or `.tar.gz' archive.


Installation:
-------------

(1) Before installing the `concmath' LaTeX package and processing
the documentation, you should first install the Concrete Roman and
Concrete Math fonts.  If you're lucky, the Concrete Roman fonts
may have already been provided as part of your TeX distribution.
For the Concrete Math fonts, proceed by changing to the `fonts'
subdirectory and installing the fonts from there.

if you have a TDS-compatible TeX installation, you may try to use
the enclosed `Makefile' in the `fonts' subdirectory by calling

  cd fonts ; make install TEXMF=/wherever/texmf

For manual installation of the font sources and font metric files,
please consult the file `fonts/README'.

(2) After the required fonts have been installed, return to this
distribution directory.  To unpack the `concmath' LaTeX package
and to typeset the documentation, proceed as follows:

If you have a TDS-compatible TeX installation, you may try to use
the enclosed `Makefile' by calling

  make TEXMF=/wherever/texmf
  make install TEXMF=/wherever/texmf


For manual installation, run

  latex concmath.ins

to unpack the package file `concmath.sty' and the corresponding
font definition files (*.fd) from the source file `concmath.dtx'.

To typeset the documentation, run

  latex concmath.dtx

twice to generate `concmath.dvi'.  This requires the Concrete
Roman and Concrete Math fonts, the `concmath.sty' LaTeX package,
and the `mflogo' and `url' packages located elsewhere on CTAN.

Finally, to install the `concmath' package, copy the files
`concmath.sty' and all `*.fd' to TEXMF/tex/latex/concmath or
wherever else your installation keeps LaTeX(2e) `.sty' files.


Happy TeXing!
