| THE COMICSANS PACKAGE |
| By Scott Pakin, scott+csan@pakin.org |
+--------------------------------------+
Description
===========
The comicsans package makes Microsoft's Comic Sans font available to
LaTeX2e. comicsans supports all of the following:
* Roman text, boldface text, small-caps text, and -- with a little
extra effort -- italic text
* Cyrillic (roman text, boldface text, italic text)
* Mathematics using Comic Sans wherever possible
Installation
============
Complete installation instructions appear in the comicsans
documentation, comicsans.pdf (formatted for U.S. Letter paper). A
brief summary follows:
* Acquire and install the Comic Sans font.
* Merge comicsans's texmf directory tree (available from CTAN as
install/macros/latex/contrib/comicsans.tds.zip) with your local
TeX directory tree.
* Point your favorite TeX backend(s) (pdfTeX, Dvips, YAP, Xdvi,
etc.) to the comicsans font-mapping file.
* Refresh the TeX filename database.

Acknowledgments
===============
Thanks to Bob Tennent for notifying me that Microsoft ceased
distributing Comic Sans themselves but that the font is now available
on SourceForge; thanks to Rolf Niepraschk for telling me about
cabextract, which can be used to extract fonts from comic32.exe; and,
thanks to Han The Thanh for presenting an alternate way to package the
Type 1 versions of Comic Sans, which facilitate comicsans's use with
Vietnamese typesetting.
