Directory fonts/archaic/protosem

    The protosem package provides fonts for the Proto-Semitic script in use 
about 1600 BC, and which may have been a very early ancestor of many of the 
world's alphabets. Files for using the font with LaTeX are also included.
This is one of a series of ancient fonts.

     The distribution consists of the following files:
README (this file)
protosem.dtx
protosem.ins
protosem.pdf     (user manual)
tryprotosem.tex  (example usage)
tryprotosem.pdf  
proto10.afm
proto10.pfb
proto10.tfm

    To install the package:
o run: latex protosem.ins, which will generate:
       protosem.sty
       *.fd files
       protosem.map
       and posibly proto10.mf
o Move the *.sty and *.fd files to a location where LaTeX will find them 
    e.g. .../texmf-local/tex/latex/protosem
o Move the *.afm, *.pfb and *.tfm files where LaTeX looks for font information
    e.g., .../texmf-var/fonts/afm/public/archaic/*.afm
          .../texmf-var/fonts/type1/public/archaic/*.pfb
          .../texmf-var/fonts/tfm/public/archaic/*.tfm
o Add the *.map information to the dvips/pdftex psfont maps
   If you want the MetaFont version as well:
   o Move the *.mf files to, e.g., .../texmf-var/fonts/source/public/protosem
   o Add a linec like the following to the (texmf/fontname)special.map file:
     proto10.mf     public      protosem
o Refresh the database
  (for more information on the above see the FAQ).

o run: latex tryprotosem for a test of the Proto-Semitic font

    To generate a second copy of the manual (which is already supplied as a PDF file):
o run: latex protosem.dtx
o (for an index run: makeindex -s gind.ist protosem.idx)
o run: latex protosem.dtx
o Print protosem.dvi for a hardcopy of the package manual
