The distribution contains the following directories:

* mf/

  This directory contains the source files for the font in its various
  flavours. Following the TeX Directory Standard, this directory has to be
  copied somewhere inside .../texmf/fonts/source. The files in this directory
  are the following:

  - frcursive.mf

    This is the main source file, it contains general parameter definitions
    and the shape of all glyphs, depending on parameters that should be
    defined in driver files.

  - mkdrv.sh

    This shell script is used to generate driver files with appropriate
    parameters for various sizes and variants. Run it with no parameters to
    get a description of the syntax.
    
  - frca10.mf, frcw10.mf

    Example driver files with non-standard parameters. The "frca" variant is an
    "academic" one, i.e. with integer ratios between base height, ascenders
    and descenders. The "frcw" variant is a modification of the standard
    "frcr10" with wide inter-letter links.

  - Makefile

    This is used to build the standard set of sources.

  The directory also contains a set of driver files produced by "mkdrv.sh".

* latex/

  This directory contains support sources for LaTeX. The directory has to be
  copied somewhere in .../texmf/tex/latex (in the case of teTeX, I don't know
  the other distributions). The following files are present:

  - t1frc.fd

    The font is defined in the T1 (TeX text extended) encoding, thus providing
    (most of) the standard Latin-1 accented letters. This file is the
    associated NFSS font definition.

  - frcursive.dtx, frcursive.ins

    The Docstrip literate source for the LaTeX support package. The ".ins"
    file is the script to make the proper ".sty" package file.

  - Makefile

    This contains the rule to make the package out of its literate source. To
    build the formatted documentation, use the Makefile from the doc/
    directory.

* doc/

  This directory contains various pieces of documentation associated to the
  font.

  - COPYING

    This is the copyright terms that apply to the font's sources, i.e. the
    General Public License.

  - FILES

    This file...

  - fcsource.tex

    This is a driver file for pretty-printing the Metafont sources, it
    contains some TeX macros that are used when typesetting the TeX file
    produced by mft from frcursive.mf.
    
  - Makefile

    This contains rules to build Postscript versions of the pretty-printed
    source and the documentation for the LaTeX support package.

* test/

  This directory contains some files used to test the font.

  - Makefile

    Just some rules to compile the examples.

  - figs.tex, chars.mp

    This is an experiment at using the font's sources to produce Metapost
    figures. Just use "make figs.ps" to make it compile.

  - tfrc.tex, lttst.tex

    Two raw test files, in Plain TeX and LaTeX respectively, that I use during
    developement.

  - txt-fr.tex, txt-en.tex

    These two example files are longer texts typeset using French Cursive
    variants (the first chapter of "Les Trois Mousquetaires" by Dumas and
    "Robinson Crusoe" by Defoe, respectively).
