Contents of readme

This directory contains

Izhitsa.mf       version of Old Slavonic font in Dos866 encoding
Izh1251.mf       the same font in Win1251 encoding
lbcoding.mf      Dos866 encoding
wbcoding.mf      Win1251 encoding
Izhitsa.sty      a style file for usage of Izh1251 with PlainTeX
                 and LaTeX2.09

Suggestions:
It would be nice if somebody can

  1) improve the quality of the font refining spaces between letters
     by adding information on kerning pairs, something like this 
        ligtable CYR_GHE : CYR_o kern -15*FX#,
                           CYR_e kern -12*FX#; 
     and so on.

  2) write a font description and a style file for LaTeX2e

  3) create another family of Old Slavonic fonts.
     Likely, the simpliest way is to convert Free True Type
     Old Slavonic fonts (see e.g. www.dtcc.edu/~berlin/font/slavonic.htm)
     to Meta Font sources using the program TTF2MF and
     then rearrange them if needed.
