Description
===========
plnfss is a set of macros to provide easy font access (somewhat similar to
NFSS but with some limitations) with plain tex.
plnfss can automatically make use of PSNFSS fd files, ie. when a postscript
font is used the relevant fd file will be loaded automatically.
For cmr-like fonts (ec, vnr, csr or plr fonts), a special format called pfd
(plain fd) is required and must be loaded manually.

Recent Changes
==============
The current version contains
* Copyright messages in all files,
* a bugfix provided by Hartmut Henkel to avoid spurious white spaces,
* additional .pfd files.
Installation
============
plnfss.tds.zip is supposed to be extracted in the root of a TDS compliant
texmf tree. In most cases texmf-local is an appropriate place.
On web2c based systems you have to update the file database. Read the
documentation of the TeX system you are using for details.
-----------------------------
You only need plnfss.tds.zip.

Usage Example
=============
______________________________________________________________________
\input plnfss
\input ot1cm.pfd % plain font description file for CM fonts
\setfontsize{12pt} % set the default font size to 12pt
\selectfont % activate the font with requested attributes
%% default attributes:
% \setfontencoding{OT1}
% \setfontfamily{cmr}
% \setfontseries{m}
% \setfontshape{n}
% \setfontsize{10pt}
% \setrmdefault{cmr}
% \setttdefault{cmtt}
% \setsfdefault{cmss}
...
some text and some \textit{italic} and some {\bfseries bold}.
\usefont{OT1}{ptm}{m}{n} % switch to Times; the fd file ot1ptm.fd will
% be loaded automatically
...
