  9. They are all free software, but not officially part of Texinfo, and the
  10. Texinfo maintainers don't support them (and generally have no knowledge
  11. about them, just passing them on).
  12. The texifont/ subdirectory was an attempt at implementing a generalized
  13. font system, but it remains incomplete. See the README there.
  14. In contrast, the two txipsfonts-* files are attempts by Torsten Bronger
  15. and Stephen Gildea, respectively, to use base PostScript fonts instead
  16. of Computer Modern, in the simplest way. (I could not find the right
  17. version of the original texinfo.tex on which Torsten's file was based.)
  18. Adapting one of these to actually be installable would doubtless be much
  19. simpler (which is not to say simple) than finalizing texifont/, though
  20. of course much less featureful.
  21. The perldoc-all subdirectory is about making Texinfo out of the standard
  22. Perl *.pod files. The results are at
