This package contains postscript fonts created by  Basil K. Malyshev.
The Computer Modern TeX fonts are in this package.  The AMS TeX fonts
are in package II and the BaKoMa Cyrillic TeX fonts are in package III.
This package should be installed as root.  (You will need to be root to modify dvips
to use these fonts.)  If you are not root, have the system admistrator copy
the files cmfonts.map and lafonts.map to /usr/lib/tex/ps/config.ps.

After installing this package, you should modify the file /usr/lib/tex/ps/config.ps
to include the lines

This font software package is the first part of the BaKoMa Font Collection.
The package includes 88 basic fonts of the Computer Modern font family
that were designed by D.E.Knuth.
The fonts are in a ATM compatible PostScript Type 1 font format (PFB+AFM+PFM)
as well as in a TrueType font format (TTF).

 This font set can be used for typesetting most of (La)TeX documents:

 - printing documents on a PostScript printer
   by using, for example, Rokiki's DVIPS;

 - printing documents on a wide set of matrix printers
   by using DVIPS and GhostScript.

 - drawing slides on vector plotters by using PostScript 'plot.ps' program
   which is supplied with the collection.
   For drawing documents on HPGL plotters, the 'ps2hpgl' utility can be used.
   It is available in 'ftp.mathworks.com' host
   in the '/pub/contrib/tools' directory.

 - displaing documents under MS Windows by using TrueType version of
   those fonts or by using PostScript version with ATM.
   For this case, fonts have specific encoding. Please read
   section about font encoding before using these fonts with MS Windows.

******************************************************************************
*                          Encoding in this fonts.                           *
******************************************************************************

Main encoding problem is that TeX standard fonts have characters
in position from 0 upto 127.
However MicroSoft Windows software don't like fonts with characters
in 0..31 positions. These BLUE characters break normal functionality
of the set of programs.
So, ATM, version 2.0 will not show characters at position 0.
If you will use ATM, version 2.6 you will look this characters
but some printer drivers will not work correctly when will try to use
characters with codes from 0 to 31.

The obvious solution of this problem is reencode a font
such that characters from positions 0..31 will be moved
to something other positions.

Of course, you can always reencode this fonts such as you want
but in this collection I use special encoding hack such that
you can use this fonts in DPS, PostScript printer, ps2pk program
and ATM under MS windows or even convert this fonts via FontMonger program
into TrueType format without any font reencoding.

PFB files have following encoding vector:

dup dup 161 10 getinterval 0 exch putinterval dup dup 173 23 getinterval 10 exch putinterval dup dup 127 exch 196 get put readonly def

So:
 - PostScript printers and interpreters (like DPS) will found
   BLUE characters in both positions in 0..32 and in 161..196.
 - ps2pk program uses encoding from AFM-file. AFM-file contain
   standard TeX encoding.
   In this reason it will be generate fonts with BLUE characters
   in positions 0..32 (standard TeX encoding).
 - ATM and FontMonger program will look BLUE characters only in positions
   161..196. In this reason PFM encoding vector contains BLUE characters
   only in positions 161..196. This is good because ATM loads to printer
   all characters from font. And once appearence of the BLUE characters
   in font will be save printer memory.
   This is actual, for example, for HP LaserJet/PCL printers.

WARNING:
  Don't use space in position 32 if you print documents on PS printer
  by using Type 1 fonts because this position will be filled by 'polishlcross'.
