PSNFSS version 2.4, 26.2.1993
----------------------------------

This is a new release of my set of files (formerly known as `soton' in
some places) put together to make life easier for LaTeX users who have
adopted the New Font Selection Scheme to use PostScript fonts.  It
will be the last release before the second release of the NFSS itself.
A lot of extraneous material has been removed, and the test file
expanded but simplified (all the material about colour, and Punk, and
psfig has been junked).  A style option for using Times in math mode
has been added by Kin Hoong Chung.

The PSNFSS setup provides style files `times.sty', `palatino.sty' etc
which can be used by the casual user to change the font families used
in a document. The font names used are those widely promulgated by
Karl Berry and found in dvips.

This version differs from earlier ones in that it no longer requires
or suggests that the user build a new format file. The style files
will dynamically load the necessary macros, as long as the basic
format is the NFSS.  The former set of files to help in creating new
formats has been abandoned.

These macros derive from an original implementation in 1989 when the
NFSS first appeared, enhanced with ideas from the similar macros of
Timothy van Zandt and Kresten Krab Thorup.

The LaTeX file `psnfss.tex' describes the distribution. The file
`psnfss.eps' is a PostScript version which can be printed without
further ado.

I apologize for using the names of style options like `times.sty'; it
must be very confusing to newcomers to find so many different schemes
masquerading under these names for so many years. It is difficult to
find a solution. `Times.sty' would, sadly, not be acceptable to DOS or
VMS users.

The `correct'  distribution home for these files is in the UK TeX Archive
(ftp.tex.ac.uk (134.151.40.18) on Internet)
