PLPSFONT
========
  The  PL*.PFB collection of PostScript fonts corresponds to the 
  bitmap fonts PL*.PK of the MeX package by Bogus/law Jackowski 
  and Marek Ry/cko.
 
  The package includes:

1. PostScript fonts in the Adobe Type1 format (77 files.):

           PLSL8.PFB

  These files should be copied into a suddirectory where other
  PostScript fonts are stored (the path can be found in the config.ps
  file of the program DVIPS).

2. File  plpsfont.map

  The contents of this file should be appended to the same named 
  configuration file of the program DVIPS.

3. File plsample.tex

  After executing the actions of points 1 and 2 above we may implement
  the full procedure meant for PostScript documents of TeX, e.g.
  (we refer to hypothetical names of batch command files here),

  - mex.bat plsample.tex      % running TeX with the format MeX
  - dvips32 plsample.dvi      % running DVIPS to create a *.PS file
                              % REMARK: because of a large number of
                              % fonts in the example one should declare
                              % a big volume of virtual memory in 
                              % config.ps, for instance:  m 10000000
  - gvp.bat plsample.ps       % running Ghostscript in order to view
                              % or print the processed document
  - gj.bat plsample.ps        % just writing the document on 
                              % a non-PostScript printer
  - copy plsample.ps prn     % writing the document on a PostScript printer
  - and so on...

4. The  PL*.PFB fonts have been created with the use of the CM*.PFB fonts
   that correspond to the CM*.PK fonts coming with each distribution 
   of TeX. The CM*.PFB fonts have been released in public domain by
   the American Mathematical Society.
