LOUT.TEQ - TEX MATHEMATICS IN LOUT DOCUMENTS (VERSION 2.0)

Jeffrey H. Kingston
jeff@cs.su.oz.au

This software allows you to produce mathematics using the TeX
mathematical fonts, which are considered to produce better-looking
mathematics than the Adobe Systems Symbol font used by standard Lout.

When installed, the only change you have to make is to replace the
@SysInclude { eq } at the top of the document by @SysInclude { teq }.
Everything else is automatic.  You do not have to have TeX on your
system for this to work.  The cost is an extra 252 KB in the PostScript
output file (because the TeX fonts have to be included in it).

Lout.teq is distributed as follows:

   ftp://ftp.cs.su.oz.au/jeff/lout.teq.2.0.tar.gz

In other words, in a gzipped tar file called "lout.teq.2.0.tar.gz"
in the "jeff" subdirectory of the home directory of "ftp ftp.cs.su.oz.au"
with login name "ftp" or "anonymous" using any non-empty password.
The distribution contains

  *  License information (non-commercial only owing to license
     restrictions on the fonts used)

  *  Five TeX mathematical font metrics and encoding vector files

  *  The teq and teq.lpg source files

  *  A makefile and installation instructions (very easy)

User documentation is contained in the Lout User's Guide distributed
with Lout itself (Section 7.8).

Lout.teq was designed and implemented by Jeffrey H. Kingston
(jeff@cs.su.oz.au) of the Basser Department of Computer Science at the
University of Sydney.  The fonts were converted to PostScript from
D. E. Knuth's METAFONT by Basil Malyshev.
