Overview
========

This distribution contains a LaTeX package and the necessary
fd files to use the Concrete fonts with LaTeX.  The
distributed files are:

ccfonts.ins     installation script
cc.fdd          documented source of the fd files
ccfonts.dtx     documented source of the LaTeX package
readme          the file you are reading now
liesmich        the german version of this file 



* WARNING *** WARNING *** WARNING *** WARNING *** WARNING **
============================================================

LaTeX2e (< 6/1997) comes with an installation script named
`cmextra.ins' which generates *obsolete* fd files for the
Concrete fonts.  If you have run this script upon
installation of your LaTeX system, and if you have requested
support for the Concrete fonts, you MUST now remove the
following files from your computer:

OT1ccr.fd  resp.  ot1ccr.fd
T1ccr.fd   resp.  t1ccr.fd

Within a TDS-compliant file system these files should be
found in the directory texmf\tex\latex\base.



Installing the files
====================

Copy the files

cc.fdd
ccfonts.dtx
ccfonts.ins

to a temporary directory or to a directory where you keep
documented LaTeX source files.  Run the installation script
ccfonts.ins through LaTeX to generate the font definition
files and the LaTeX package.  Then move all the *.fd and
*.sty files to a directory where LaTeX searches for style
files.

You may generate the documentation of the code, too:  Run
the files cc.fdd and ccfonts.dtx through LaTeX to generate 
dvi files from them.



Which fonts do I need?
======================

To run the package ccfonts successfully, you will need

1) the Concrete Fonts, from             fonts/concrete
2) the Concrete Math Fonts, from        fonts/concmath
3) the EC Concrete Fonts, from          fonts/ecc

The last ones are needed only if you want to use T1 text
fonts (the default is still OT1) or text companion fonts.

The directory names given above are for the CTAN.



Using the package ccfonts.sty
=============================

Simply say:

        \usepackage{ccfonts}

The font family Concrete will be used as the default font
family, both in text and math mode.

The Concrete fonts need a larger leading than the CM fonts
do.  The ccfonts package will automatically enlarge the
\baselineskip.  This is, however, not always appropriate,
e.g.  with small columns.  In this case you should load the
package with the option [standard-baselineskips]:

        \usepackage[standard-baselineskips]{ccfonts}

Thus the leading defined in the document class will be 
valid.

You may switch to T1 (EC) text fonts (this is heavily
recommended!)  by additionally requesting:

        \usepackage[T1]{fontenc}

You may use all the AMS fonts by issuing the command

        \usepackage{amsfonts}
or
        \usepackage{amssymb}

after (!) loading ccfonts.

Note that the Concrete variant of the AMS fonts will be 
used!

You may access Concrete text companion symbols by 
requesting

        \usepackage{textcomp}
and/or
        \usepackage{mathcomp}



Which text font series/shapes are supported?
============================================

family  series  shape(s)        (see below)

ccr     m       n, sl, it, sc 
ccr     c       sl              (1)

(1) This font shape is (at the moment) only available with
OT1, i.e. the traditional font encoding.

To every font given above (except ccr/c/sl), a corresponding
text companion font is available and supported.

There is no boldface font series in the Concrete fonts. 
Two possible substitutions are provided in the fd files:

requested font series   substitution      (see below)

bx                      CM Roman bx           (1)
sbc                     CM Sans Serif sbc     (2)

(1) This is the *default* behaviour.

(2) Say \renewcommand{\bfdefault}{sbc} to get this
substitution with the usual commands \textbf and \bfseries.
CM Sans sbc (e.g.  in headings) blends well with Concrete!
This was the default behaviour with ccfonts.sty v0.9.

his package beton.sty.



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.



History of changes
==================

*** 1997-06-03
 -- installation script v0.95a: fd files are given
    mixed-case names if necessary (only  with obsolete
    LaTeX if running on Unix)

*** 1997/04/01 v0.95 ***
 -- extended documentation
 -- names of fd files changed to lowercase
 -- added missing support for text companion fonts in the
    installation script

    boldface font series in the fd files
 -- cleaned up definitions for OMS and OML encoding in the
    fd files

*** 1997/03/20 v0.9 ***
