Overview
========

`European Concrete' is a new implementation of Donald
Knuth's Comcrete fonts, providing T1 text fonts and TS1 text
companion fonts.

The subdirectory src contains the following METAFONT
sources:

eorm5.mf       EC roman medium    5pt
eorm6.mf                          6pt
eorm7.mf                          7pt
eorm8.mf                          8pt
eorm9.mf                          9pt
eorm10.mf                        10pt
eosl9.mf       EC slanted         9pt
eosl10.mf                        10pt
eeocc10.mf     EC small capitals 10pt
eoti10.mf      EC text italic    10pt
torm5.mf       TC roman medium    5pt
torm6.mf                          6pt
torm7.mf                          7pt
torm8.mf                          8pt
torm9.mf                          9pt
torm10.mf                        10pt
tosl9.mf       TC slanted         9pt      
tosl10.mf                        10pt
toti10.mf      TC italic         10pt 
tcssdc10.mf    TC Sans Serif demibold condensed 10pt

The naming scheme corresponds to J. Knappen's EC fonts:
  eo.. = EC Concrete, textfont, T1 encoding
  to.. = TC Concrete, text companion font, TS1 encoding



Installing the fonts
====================

The files from the subdirectory `src' must be moved to a
directory where METAFONT searches for its input files.  The
files from the subdirectory `tfm' must be moved to a
directory where TeX/LaTeX searches for font metrics.  In
order to generate the bitmap fonts you will need the
METAFONT sources of the EC fonts, version 1.0 or later, too.



Known bugs and deficiencies
===========================

There are no T1/TS1 versions of the `grafitti' font ccslc9.

The text companion fonts have hardly been tested.



Future changes and additions
============================

The Concrete text companion fonts will reflect all the
changes and additions to the `official' EC(-Modern)
distribution.



List of FAQs
============

How can I use the EC Concrete Fonts with LaTeX?

       You need appropriate font definition files and the
       LaTeX package `ccfonts'.  You will find both on the
       CTAN in the directory
       `latex/contrib/supported/ccfonts'.

Why is there a font named tcssdc10?  It does not belong to
the Concrete family.

       It is recommended to use ecssdc10 as a substitute for
       the missing bold typefaces.  Its text companion
       counterpart tcssdc10, however, ist still missing from 
       the EC 1.0 distribution, so it is provided here.



Terms of distribution
=====================

Redistribution of this collection of files is allowed,
provided that it is complete and unchanged.  You are,
however, NOT ALLOWED to take money for the distribution or
use of these files or the fonts generated from them, except
for a nominal charge for copying etc.

The distribution of changed versions of the files is allowed
under the following restrictions:

- You rename the file(s) before you make any changes.
- You distribute the unchanged version with your file(s).
- You acknowledge the origin of the unchanged version in the
  file(s).
- You make sure that the changed versions contain a notice
  that prevents others to take money for distribution or use
  of your file(s), i.e. they have to be distributed under
  the above restrictions.
