Description
===========

The covfonts package provides all of the files needed to make the
Apostrophic Laboratories's freely distributable Covington font
available to TeX and LaTeX.

covfonts.pdf contains some brief documentation and font samples.


Installation
============

coving_t1.zip and covingSC_t1.zip contain the unmodified PostScript
Type 1 versions of the Covington typeface as downloaded from
http://www.apostrophiclab.com/.  Copy all of the .pfb files from those
ZIP archives into texmf/fonts/type1/public/covfonts.  Optionally copy
all of the .afm files into texmf/fonts/afm/public/covfonts.

Copy the contents of covfonts's texmf subdirectory onto your local
texmf directory (e.g., /usr/local/texmf or C:\localtexmf).  Run
texhash or invoke whatever program is needed to update TeX's filename
database.

Tell dvips, pdftex, xdvi, yap, etc. to utilize covfonts.map.  In the
teTeX TeX distribution, this is done by adding covfonts.map (possibly
with full pathname) to the extra_modules section of the updmap script
(located in texmf/dvips/config/) then running updmap.  In other
distributions, you may need to add "p +covfonts.map" to your config.ps
file (probably also located in texmf/dvips/config/) and, if you use
pdfTeX, "map +covfonts.map" to your pdftex.cfg file (probably in
texmf/pdftex/config/).


Usage
=====

Put "\usepackage{covfonts}" in your document's preamble.  This
replaces Computer Modern with Covington as the default body font.
