README
    The trajan bundle provides fonts based on the capitals carved on 
the Trajan column in Rome in 114 AD. Many typographers think these rank 
first among the Roman's artistic legacy.
The font is uppercase letters together with punctuation
and some analphabetics; no lowercase or digits.

    To install the bundle:
o If you want MetaFont sources uncomment the appropriate lines in trajan.ins.
o run: latex trajan.ins, which will generate:
       trajan.sty
       *.fd files
       trajan.map
       and possibly several *.mf files
o Move *.sty and *.fd files to a location where LaTeX will find them
    e.g., .../texmf-local/tex/latex/trajan
o Move *.afm, *.pfb and *.tfm files to where LaTeX looks for font information
    e.g., .../texmf-var/fonts/afm/public/trajan/*.afm
          .../texmf-var/fonts/type1/public/trajan/*.pfb
          .../texmf-var/fonts/tfm/public/trajan/*.tfm
o Add the *.map information to the dvips/pdftex font maps
   If you want the MetaFont version as well:
   o Move the *.mf files to, e.g., .../texmf-var/fonts/source/public/trajan
   o Add a line like the following to the (texmf/fontname/)special.map file:
      trjn10.mf      public    trajan 
      trjnsl10.mf    public    trajan
o Refresh the database
 (for more information on the above see the FAQ).

o run: (pdf)latex trytrajan for a test of the font

    If you want a full manual with all the MetaFont and LaTeX code and commentry, 
comment out the \OnlyDescription line in trajan.dtx.
o run: (pdf)latex trajan.dtx
o (for an index run: makeindex -s gind.ist *.idx)
o run: (pdf)latex *.dtx
o Print *.(pdf|dvi) for a hardcopy of the package manual
