+Computer Modern PostScript Fonts
+(Adobe Type 1 format)
+
+-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
+The PostScript Type 1 implementation of the Computer Modern fonts produced by
+and previously distributed by Blue Sky Research and Y&Y, Inc. are now freely
+available for general use. This has been accomplished through the cooperation
+of a consortium of scientific publishers with Blue Sky Research and Y&Y.
+Members of this consortium include:
+
+ Elsevier Science
+ IBM Corporation
+ Society for Industrial and Applied Mathematics (SIAM)
+ Springer-Verlag
+ American Mathematical Society (AMS)
+
+In order to assure the authenticity of these fonts, copyright will be held
+by the American Mathematical Society. This is not meant to restrict in any
+way the legitimate use of the fonts, such as (but not limited to) electronic
+distribution of documents containing these fonts, inclusion of these fonts
+into other public domain or commercial font collections or computer
+applications, use of the outline data to create derivative fonts and/or
+faces, etc. However, the AMS does require that the AMS copyright notice be
+removed from any derivative versions of the fonts which have been altered in
+any way. In addition, to ensure the fidelity of TeX documents using Computer
+Modern fonts, Professor Donald Knuth, creator of the Computer Modern faces,
+has requested that any alterations which yield different font metrics be
+given a different name.
+
+The AMS does not provide technical support or installation assistance
+beyond any installation instructions included in this file. Installation
+and use of these fonts may require some technical expertise. Review this
+READ.ME file in its entirety before undertaking an installation.
+
+----------------------------------------------------------------------------
+History
+
+The PostScript versions of the Computer Modern fonts were produced in 1988
+by Blue Sky Research of Portland, Oregon, and Y&Y, Inc., of Concord,
+Massachusetts, who published the fonts in conjunction with their commercial
+implementations of the TeX program.
+
+Character outlines were derived from high-resolution METAFONT-generated
+character bitmaps by the ScanLab application from Projective Solutions (Ian
+Morrison and Henry Pinkham), applied and corrected by Douglas Henderson of
+Blue Sky Research. Character hints were created by software from Y&Y
+(Berthold and Blenda Horn), with extensive hand work by Blenda Horn. Font
+engineering, production, and packaging were by Douglas Henderson and
+Berthold Horn. The CMMI* fonts were revised in 1996 to conform to Knuth's
+changes to the greek delta and arrow characters.
+

+Font Distributions
+
+The canonical version of the Computer Modern PostScript Fonts is located on
+the AMS FTP server, ftp.ams.org, at /pub/tex/psfonts/cm. These fonts are
+also available on the Comprehensive TeX Archive Network (CTAN) in
+fonts/cm/ps-type1/bluesky.
+
+The following three files are in this directory for you to download:
+
+cmps-textures.hqx for use with Textures, contains fonts in standard
+ Macintosh Type 1 format
+cmps-oztex.hqx for use with OzTeX, contains fonts in standard
+ Macintosh Type 1 format
+cmps-pc.zip for use on a Windows or DOS system, contains fonts
+ in PFB format with PFM metrics files
+cmps-unix.tar.gz for use on a Unix system, contains fonts in
+ PFB format with AFM metrics files
+
+
+Each distribution includes a READ.ME file which contains instructions
+for installing the fonts. Please review the READ.ME file in its entirety
+before undertaking to install the fonts on your system.
