The phoenician package provides fonts for the semitic script in use from
about 1600 BC, and which formed the basis for all the world's alphabets.
Mirrored forms are provided for typesetting either left-to-right or
right-to-left (as the Phoenicians did). This is one of a series of ancient fonts.

    The distribution consists of the following files:
README (this file)
phoenician.ins
phoenician.dtx
tryfont.tex

    The distribution is provided under the terms of the LaTeX
Project Public License (LPPL).

    To install the package:
o run: latex phoenician.ins, which will generate:
       phnc*.mf files
       *.fd files
       phoenician.sty
o run: latex phoenician.dtx
o run: makeindex -s gind.ist phoenician
o run: latex phoenician.dtx
o Print phoenician.dvi for a hardcopy of the package manual 
o Move the generated files to locations where LaTeX will find them.
    For example: the phnc*.mf files to .../texmf/fonts/source/public/phoenician
                 the *.fd and .sty files to /texmf/tex/latex/local/phoenician
    On a teTeX distribution you might also have to add the following 
    line to texmf/fontname/special.map:
      phnc10.mf     public    phoenician
    On a teTeX distribution remember to run texhash after moving the files.

o run: latex tryfont  for a testpage of the Phoenician font
