The package contains the Antykwa Poltawskiego family of fonts
|
||
|
|
in the PostScript Type 1 and OpenType formats. The original
|
||
|
|
font was designed in the twenties of the XX century by the
|
||
|
|
Polish typographer Adam Poltawski(1881-1952). Following the
|
||
|
|
route set out by the Latin Modern and TeX Gyre projects
|
||
|
|
(http://www.gust.org.pl/projects/e-foundry), the Antykwa
|
||
|
|
Poltawskiego digitisation project aims at providing a rich
|
||
|
|
collection of diacritical characters in the attempt to cover as
|
||
|
|
many Latin-based scripts as possible. To our knowledge, the
|
||
|
|
repertoire of characters covers all European languages as well
|
||
|
|
as some other Latin-based alphabets such as Vietnamese and
|
||
|
|
Navajo; at the request of users, recent extensions (following
|
||
|
|
the enhancement of the Latin Modern collection) provide glyphs
|
||
|
|
sufficient for typesetting of romanized transliterations of
|
||
|
|
Arabic and Sanskrit scripts. The Antykwa Poltawskiego family
|
||
|
|
consists of 4 weights (light, normal, medium, bold), each
|
||
|
|
having upright and italic forms and one of 5 design sizes: 6,
|
||
|
|
8, 10, 12 and 17pt. Altogether, the collection comprises 40
|
||
|
|
font files, containing the same repertoire of 1126 characters.
|
||
|
|
The preliminary version of Antykwa Poltawskiego (antp package)
|
||
|
|
released in 2000 is rendered obsolete by this package.
