This document describes contains instructions on how to use MLTeX's
\charsubdef extension with LaTeX.  Before reading this file, you
should read `install.txt', which will explain how the LaTeX
installation works.

This file describes:
 
 * How to create the LaTeX format with MLTeX.

 * How to use MLTeX with LaTeX.


CREATING THE LaTeX FORMAT
=========================

To create the LaTeX format, you should follow the standard LaTeX
installation guide.

 - Do NOT include any MLTeX specific file into your LaTeX format!

 - Do NOT use the files `compatible.tex', `extdef.tex',
   `masthyph.tex', or any other file from the old MLTeX distribution!

As a result your LaTeX format file `latex.fmt' should not contain any
MLTeX specific definitions or declarations.


USING THE MLTeX EXTENSION
=========================

To enable the MLTeX extension, you should use the `mlfntenc' package
instead of the `fontenc' package in the document preamble,
e.g. replace

   \usepackage[T1,OT1]{fontenc}

by

   \usepackage[T1,OT1]{mlfntenc}

The package `mlfntenc' has the same semantics as the `fontenc' package
unless a MLTeX font encoding translation file `mlt<encoding>.def'
exists for a given font encoding.  This translation file will load
MLTeX's font encoding definition associated with <encoding>.

  Currently you have to know the name of this encoding to select it
  afterwards, unless you want to select the encoding associated with
  the last encoding given in the option list of `mlfntenc' above.

For LaTeX's font encoding OT1 the associated MLTeX font encoding is
provided with a basic set of fd files.  This font encoding is called
LO1 (for M_L_TeX's _O_T1) and is a superset of OT1.

To use MLTeX's extended OT1, simply include

   \usepackage[OT1]{mlfntenc}

in the document preamble.
