+README for the Heirloom Troff Quickstart Guide
+==============================================
+
+To build this document, you need the Myriad Pro fonts
+from Adobe, and need to set the TROFFONTS variable
+accordingly. Myriad Pro is available as part of the
+"Adobe Type Basics OpenType Edition" package.
+
+Note that as of autumn 2005, it was not possible to
+download fonts bought directly from Adobe using a Linux
+system. There are many other shops that sell Adobe fonts,
+though, and these usually allow downloads for Linux users.

+Update for the revised Heirloom Troff edition
+=============================================
+
+2014/09/05
+The files contained in this directory have been modified to
+use the Linux Libertine fonts if the fonts choosen by Gunnar
+Ritter are not present in your system. The Linux Libertine
+can be downloaded from <http://linuxlibertine.org>. You
+still need to set the TROFFONTS variable accordingly.
