%Here is a quick variation on Frans Velthuis' now-freely-available
%devanagari metafont (which can be found in ~/tex on june.cs.washington.edu
%in devnag.tar.Z or devnag.zip  --- unix users warning: devnag.tar
%has MSDOS text files.) (This message may cross an earlier  message from
%Pierre MacKay passing along news of the availability of the package).

% cut wherever good Metafont sense would indicate at each end :)

% This is file dvpn10.mf
%   a trivial variation of dvng10.mf to resemble devanagari 
%   written with an ordinary writing pen --- we get usable results ---
%   illustrating that Frans Velthuis' font is truly a well-designed 
%   meta-font which can serve as a basis for numerous fonts of
%   difference appearance    Tom Ridgeway   
%   below this line this file is identical to file dvng10.mf 
%   except for lines containing %HACC%, including this one
