A geometric sans serif blackboard bold font, for use in
mathematics; MetaFont sources are provided, as well as macros
for use with LaTeX. The Sauter font package has MetaFont
parameter source files for building the fonts at more sizes
than you could reasonably imagine. See the blackboard sampler
for a feel for the font's appearance.
The files offer an Adobe Type 1 format version of the 5pt, 7pt
and 10pt versions of the bbold fonts. The distribution also
includes a map file, for use when incorporating the fonts into
TeX documents, but no macro sets are provided (the fonts will
not provide the correct results using macros designed for use
with the MetaFont versions of the fonts. The fonts were
produced to be part of the TeX distribution from Y&Y; they were
generously donated to the TeX Users' Group when Y&Y closed its
doors as a business.

VERSION 1.9 2012-03-14
CHANGES IN 1.9
Fixed the problem with inverted question mark facing the wrong way. (Thanks
to Swyter for reporting it.)
Modified the small "w" and "g".
Restored the original look for size 6x12 bold.
CHANGES IN 1.8
Fixed a problem where chars showed up as boxes in xfontsel and some apps.
Tweaks, esp. to 8x17 size
CHANGES IN 1.7
Added two new sizes: tiny 5x9 and large 10x20.
Retired size 7x12. (If this presents major problem for you, get in touch.)
Added a pixel to the height of the 6x11 size, making it 6x12.
Added new chars for partial ISO8859-1 support, mainly covering the accented
characters and currency symbols. I consider these new characters to be BETA,
since I don't use them so I'm not sure how they should look. If you have
feedback about them, please get in touch.
Made many minor tweaks to character shapes. In particular, the f, l, and t
have a more "traditional" look. Also, I've changed the w and y again.

Garamont's fonts have set a milestone, on which font designers have
been recurring ever since. EB Garamond is an open source project
to create a revival of Claude Garamont's famous humanist typeface
from the mid-16th century. Its design reproduces the original design
by Claude Garamont: The source for the letterforms is a scan of a
specimen known as the "Berner specimen", which, composed in 1592
by Conrad Berner, son-in-law of Christian Egenolff and his successor
at the Egenolff print office, shows Garamont's roman and Granjon
italic fonts at different sizes. Hence the name of this project:
Egenolff-Berner Garamond.
The Garamonds are probably the most copied typefaces in the world.
There are indeed lots of excellent Garamond fonts, also such that
try to approach the original in the same way as EB Garamond does.
In the world of free software, however, only few Garamond-inspired
fonts exist, and as far as I know, none with the scope of EB
Garamond. I know that competition is hard in this field, and these
fonts won't be able to stand up to their commercial counterparts
for quite some time. Nevertheless, it's time for the opensource
community to have a classical Garamond and I promise, I'll try hard
to learn and give my best.
