There are minimal instructions in the AMSFonts doc (Euler is one of  
the AMSFonts), see section 5 of /Library/teTeX/share/texmf.tetex/doc/ 
fonts/amsfonts/amsfndoc.dvi.

Don Knuth developed special macros for typesetting his book "Concrete  
Mathematics", in which he combined the Concrete fonts (mostly for  
text) with the Euler fonts (for maths). These macros are in the file / 
Library/teTeX/share/texmf.tetex/tex/plain/base/gkpmac.tex, with  
practically no documentation. The TUGBoat article <http://www.tug.org/ 
TUGboat/Articles/tb10-1/tb23knut.pdf> tells a bit more about what  
this file does (but not how).

Finally the documentation for the Euler package /Library/teTeX/share/ 
texmf.tetex/doc/latex/euler/euler.dvi has some comments about  
gkpmac.tex.

See also the TeX FAQ page <http://www.tex.ac.uk/cgi-bin/texfaq2html? 
label=concrete>.

Hope this helps,
