The font {\tt wasy} contains some of the {\tt lasy} characters, and
a lot more symbols. It does not contain letters and letter-like symbols
(like the upside down $\Omega$ in {\tt lasy}); those characters will
be provided in different styles ({\tt teletype}, roman,
{\sl slanted} and {\ssf sans-serif}) as different fonts, to make it
easier to combine them with the existing characters.

Some characters were just copied from the {\tt lasy.mf} file, others
where modified from the {\tt mf} files of the standard \TeX\ fonts,
and some were designed from scratch.

An extension to PLAIN-\TeX\ for using the fonts is included
in the file {\tt wasyfont.tex}.
These bindings are just meant as an example how to implement
the {\tt wasy} characters into your document. They may
change in a future release of a {\tt wasyfont.tex} file together
with extended {\tt wasy} fonts (however,
the positions of the presently
existing characters in the {\tt wasy}
font will not change, so this file as well as
your own bindings will be compatible
with any future release).

A list of characters with their bindings in
{\tt wasyfont.tex} follows.
Some symbols which are already available from standard \TeX\ fonts
are also included for comparison; these symbols are marked
with $^*$.

With the control sequence
{\tt\\newpropto} you can change the proportional sign to the
thin {\tt wasy} symbol ($\varpropto$),
which is more distinct from alpha ($\alpha$)
then the default symbol ($\propto$).

With the control sequence
{\tt\\newint} you can change the \TeX\ integrals from $\int,\oint$
to the vertical ones $\varint,\varoint$, in display:
$$\int_a^b \to \varint_a^b,\qquad
  \oint_C \to \varoint_C
$$

There are still many unused places in the font table, which will be
filled in the future. However, the next version will be downward
compatible to this one, i.e.\ no character will be removed from its
current place.

You are encouraged to contribute to the extension, by sending your
favourite character(s) to the author. Also suggestions are
welcome.
