The auncial bundle provides packages and fonts for a script based
on the Artificial Uncial manuscript book-hand used between the 6th & 10th
century AD. The script consists of minuscules and digits, with some
appropriate period punctuation marks. Both normal and bold versions are
provided. This is one of a series for bookhand fonts.
The font follows the B1 encoding developed for bookhands. Access to
this is essential. The encoding mainly follows the regular T1 encoding.
If there are any questions please ask them on the comp.text.tex newsgroup.
Changes in version 2.0 (2005/11/27)
o Font supplied as Postscript Type1 instead of MetaFont
o Only B1 encoding supported
o Major code rewrite
Changes in version 1.0 (1999/05/22)
o First public release

To install the bundle:
o If you want MetaFont sources uncomment the appropriate lines in auncial.ins.
o run: latex auncial.ins, which will generate:
auncial.sty
*.fd files
auncial.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/auncial
o Move *.afm, *.pfb and *.tfm files to where LaTeX looks for font information
e.g., .../texmf-var/fonts/afm/public/bookhands/*.afm
.../texmf-var/fonts/type1/public/bookhands/*.pfb
.../texmf-var/fonts/tfm/public/bookhands/*.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/auncial
o Add a line like the following to the (texmf/fontname/)special.map file:
auncl10.mf public auncial
aunclb10.mf public auncial
o Refresh the database
(for more information on the above see the FAQ).
o run: (pdf)latex tryauncial 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 auncial.dtx.
o run: (pdf)latex auncial.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
