This file contains instructions for one way of installing and using the lovely Poetica fonts from Adobe Systems with TeX and LaTeX. The files in this area contain everything but the font files themselves (*.pfb) which are of course proprietary. The main description of this material appears in the article by Alan Hoenig (me) in the Proceedings of the 16th Annual TeX User Group meeting, St. Pete Beach, FL, 1995 (to appear). Alas, that article requires the actual Poetica fonts themselves, so although that file (poetica.tex) is included, the commands to actually include the Poetica types have been commented out. It should be construed as the user guide. Setting Up. =========== Place all the vf files in the vf/ subdirectory with all your other vf (virtual font) files. Place all the tfm files in the tfm/ subdirectory with your other tfm files. Place all the input files in the inputs/ subdirectory with your other system inputs (probably in a place called something like /usr/tex/inputs). You might want to rename the file `ot1poe.fd' to `OT1poe.fd' if your system allows this. The file fontpoet.tex is the fontinst installation file. Check the file poetica.map in the doc/ subdirectory. It gives the correspondance between the raw font files and the Poetica fonts. You should rename your Poetical font files according to the entries in this file. For example, the first line of this file reads poce0 Poetica-ChanceryExpert
