The runic package provides fonts for Anglo-Saxon the futharc script, used in 
England until just after printing was established. It is one of a series of 
ancient fonts.

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

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

    To install the package:
o run: latex runic.ins, which will generate:
       fut*.mf files
       *.fd files
       runic.sty
o run: latex runic.dtx
o run: makeindex -s gind.ist runic
o run: latex runic.dtx
o Print runic.dvi for a hardcopy of the package manual 
o Move the generated files to locations where LaTeX will find them.
    For example: the fut*.mf files to .../texmf/fonts/source/public/runic
                 the *.fd and .sty files to /texmf/tex/latex/local/runic
    On a teTeX distribution you might also have to add the following 
    line to texmf/fontname/special.map:
      fut10.mf     public    runic
    On a teTeX distribution remember to run texhash after moving the files.

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