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.

These are font bundles for the Japanese Wadalab fonts which work with
the CJK package. All subfonts now have glyph names compliant to the
Adobe Glyph List, making ToUnicode CMaps in PDF documents (created
automatically by dvipdfmx) work correctly. All font bundles now contain
virtual Unicode subfonts.
It was needed as a dependency of print/lilypond 2.3.x. The current
version of lilypond (2.14) no longer uses this. The TFM fonts
installed by this package are also included in fonts/tex-ec.
Computer Modern Unicode fonts were converted from metafont sources using
mftrace with autotrace backend and fontforge. Some characters in several
fonts are copied from Blue Sky type 1 fonts released by AMS. Currently
the fonts contain glyphs from Latin (Metafont ec, tc, vnr), Cyrillic
(lh), Greek (cbgreek when available) code sets and IPA extensions (from
tipa). This font set contains 33 fonts. This archive contains AFM, PFB
and OTF versions; the OTF version of the Computer Modern Unicode fonts
works with TeX engines that directly support OpenType features, such as
XeTeX and LuaTeX.

config: Use the shorthand --disable-all-encodings option in font-util v1.2
This option is useful to disable all possible font encodings at once,
without fine-graining the calling ebuilds for a list of encodings
supported by each font package.
The option is parsed before all other encoding options, so it basically
sets defaults for all of them. Afterwards, any encoding can be
re-enabled back using '--enable-<encoding>' (much like
'--disable-all-encodings --enable-iso8859-2').

This package contains sans-serif Konatu fonts, Konatu (proportional)
and KonatuTohaba (monospace). The kanji characters in these fonts are
based on JIS X 0208.
Ricty font is developed for research and programming use.
Ricty is free TrueType font and based on Inconsolata and
Migu 1M (based on M+ 1M and IPA Gothic).
* Latin characters are Inconsolata.
* Non-Latin characters are Migu 1M.
* 2-byte characters have double width of 1-byte ones.
* 2-byte white space is visible.
* 2-byte comma and period are different look.
* An en dash has broken-line look.
The Kiloji fonts is Japanese script (written by hand) TrueType font
family. This family contains 4 fonts (fixed-width, proportional,
light-weight, and bold).
* Did a lot of work to improve the accuracy in remove overlap. Improved
accuracy means that it is less likely to do the wrong thing. Problems happen
when there are points or intersections very close to each other.
(So quadratic glyphs are more likely to have problems than cubics simply
because they have more points, on average).
* Fix various error messages.
* Remove some obsolete documentation.
* Technical fixes to stroking code.
* Add a miterlimit to stroking code.
* FontForge was using the wrong MIME type for svg files. W3C has changed it and
it's now "image/svg+xml" not "image/svg-xml" or "image/svg".
* Since Inkscape images tend to be at unexpected y positions, force the view to
rescale/recenter itself if the result after a paste/import is outside the
current window. (Inkscape tends to put things at the top of a page, but the
origin is at the bottom, and FF looks at the origin.
* A line joint of 180 degrees (which shouldn't have happened in stroking, but
did) caused an infinite loop.
* Typo in add extrema code (again).

The Droid family of fonts was designed by Ascender's Steve Matteson
beginning in the fall of 2006. The goal was to provide optimal
quality and reading comfort on a mobile handset. The Droid fonts
were optimized for use in application menus, web browsers and for
other screen text.
Ascender Corporation worked closely with Google and the Open Handset
Alliance to develop these system fonts for Android, a free, open
source, and fully customizable mobile platform.

Kanji Stroke Orders font provides an easy way to view stroke order
diagrams for 6373 kanji, 183 kana symbols, the Latin characters
and a few other symbols.
The scheme for assigning names is described (in the documentation part
of the package), and map files giving the relation between foundry name
and 'TeX-name' are also provided.
Fourier-GUTenberg is a LaTeX typesetting system which uses Adobe Utopia
as its standard base font. Fourier-GUTenberg provides all complementary
typefaces needed to allow Utopia based TeX typesetting, including an
extensive mathematics set and several other symbols. The system is
absolutely stand- alone: apart from Utopia and Fourier, no other
typefaces are required. The fourier fonts will also work with Adobe
Utopia Expert fonts, which are only available for purchase. Utopia is a
registered trademark of Adobe Systems Incorporated
The esint package permits access to alternate integral symbols when
you're using the Computer Modern fonts. In the original set, several
integral symbols are missing, such as \oiint. Many of these symbols are
available in other font sets (pxfonts, txfonts, etc.), but there is no
good solution if you want to use Computer Modern. The package provides
Metafont source and LaTeX macro support.
A set of font metric files and virtual fonts for using the EC fonts with
oldstyle numerals. These files can only be used together with the
standard ec fonts. The style file eco.sty is sufficient to use the eco
fonts but if you intend to use other font families as well, e.g.,
PostScript fonts, try altfont.

The Adobe Standard Encoding set (upright and italic shapes, medium and
bold weights) of the Utopia font family, which Adobe donated to the X
Consortium. Macro support, and maths fonts that match the Utopia family,
are provided by the Fourier and the Mathdesign Utopia font packages.
The TeX-GYRE bundle consists of six font families: TeX Gyre Adventor is
based on the URW Gothic L family of fonts (which is derived from ITC
Avant Garde Gothic, designed by Herb Lubalin and Tom Carnase). TeX Gyre
Bonum is based on the URW Bookman L family (from Bookman Old Style,
designed by Alexander Phemister). TeX Gyre Chorus is based on URW
Chancery L Medium Italic (from ITC Zapf Chancery, designed by Hermann
Zapf in 1979). TeX-Gyre Cursor is based on URW Nimbus Mono L (based on
Courier, designed by Howard G. Kettler in 1955, for IBM). TeX Gyre Heros
is based on URW Nimbus Sans L (from Helvetica, prepared by Max
Miedinger, with Eduard Hoffmann in 1957). TeX Gyre Pagella is based on
URW Palladio L (from Palation, designed by Hermann Zapf in the 1940s).
TeX Gyre Schola is based on the URW Century Schoolbook L family (which
was designed by Morris Fuller Benton for the American Type Founders).
TeX Gyre Termes is based on the URW Nimbus Roman No9 L family of fonts
(whose original, Times, was designed by Stanley Morison together with
Starling Burgess and Victor Lardent and first offered by Monotype). The
constituent standard faces of each family have been greatly extended,
and contain nearly 1200 glyphs each (though Chorus omits Greek support,
has no small-caps family and has approximately 900 glyphs). Each family
is available in Adobe Type 1 and Open Type formats, and LaTeX support
(for use with a variety of encodings) is provided. Vietnamese and
Cyrillic characters were added by Han The Thanh and Valek Filippov,
respectively.
Pxfonts supplies virtual text roman fonts using Adobe Palatino (or
URWPalladioL) with some modified and additional text symbols in the OT1,
T1, and TS1 encodings; maths alphabets using Palatino/Palladio; maths
fonts providing all the symbols of the Computer Modern and AMS fonts,
including all the Greek capital letters from CMR; and additional maths
fonts of various other symbols. The set is complemented by a sans-serif
set of text fonts, based on Helvetica/NimbusSanL, and a monospace set
derived from the parallel TX font set. All the fonts are in Type 1
format (AFM and PFB files), and are supported by TeX metrics (VF and TFM
files) and macros for use with LaTeX.
The Pazo Math fonts are a family of PostScript fonts suitable for
typesetting mathematics in combination with the Palatino family of text
fonts. The Pazo Math family is made up of five fonts provided in Adobe
Type 1 format (PazoMath, PazoMath- Italic, PazoMath-Bold,
PazoMath-BoldItalic, and PazoMathBlackboardBold). These contain, in
designs that match Palatino, glyphs that are usually not available in
Palatino and for which Computer Modern looks odd when combined with
Palatino. These glyphs include the uppercase Greek alphabet in upright
and slanted shapes in regular and bold weights, the lowercase Greek
alphabet in slanted shape in regular and bold weights, several
mathematical glyphs (partialdiff, summation, product, coproduct,
emptyset, infinity, and proportional) in regular and bold weights, other
glyphs (Euro and dotlessj) in upright and slanted shapes in regular and
bold weights, and the uppercase letters commonly used to represent
various number sets (C, I, N, Q, R, and Z) in blackboard bold. The set
also includes a set of 'true' small-caps fonts, also suitable for use
with Palatino (or one of its clones). LaTeX macro support (using package
mathpazo.sty) is provided in psnfss (a required part of any LaTeX
distribution).
The FPL Fonts provide a set of SC/OsF fonts for URW Palladio L which are
compatible with respect to metrics with the Palatino SC/OsF fonts from
Adobe. Note that it is not the aim to exactly reproduce the outlines of
the original Adobe fonts. The SC and OsF in the FPL Fonts were designed
with the glyphs from URW Palladio L as starting point. For some glyphs
(e.g. 'o') I got the best result by scaling and boldening. For others
(e.g. 'h') shifting selected portions of the character gave more
satisfying results. All this was done using the free font editor
FontForge. The kerning data in these fonts comes from Walter Schmidt's
improved Palatino metrics. LaTeX use is enabled by the mathpazo package,
which is part of the psnfss distribution.
Provides a convenient interface for using Adobe's freely available Type
1 Euro fonts. Loading the package defines a new command \euro which
typesets a Euro symbol. The symbol is always taken from the 'EuroSans'
family, with the weight (medium or boldface) and shape (normal or
oblique) varying according to the font currently selected. This Euro
symbol meets the official design and matches most font families well
enough, except for typewriter fonts. The fonts themselves are only
available from Adobe (though the fonts are free of charge, the licence
conditions prevent CTAN from distributing them). Metrics and maps for
using the fonts (at all) are available via the adobe-euro package.
The particular symbol printed by \euro will in general change depending
on the font family, weight, and shape in use at the time. This symbol
can come from any source, and the package user has complete control over
which euro symbol is used in any given situation. The package is
pre-configured to behave sensibly with many common text fonts and
available euro symbols. The \euro command can print 'faked' euro symbols
from a C with two lines across it when no suitable real euro symbol is
available; the package also includes code for printing fake bold euro
symbols for use when no real bold symbol exists, as well as
pre-configured support for a faked italic version of the marvosym font.
Eurofont comes set up to use euro symbols from Adobe's Eurofonts, the
marvosym font, the Eurosym font, and any available Text Companion fonts.
The selection between these can be done using options passed to the
package. The eurofont package also 'knows' about the China2e font's euro
symbol, and can be configured to use it.
The package contains the Bera Type 1 fonts, and a zip archive containing
files to use the fonts with LaTeX. Bera is a set of three font families:
Bera Serif (a slab-serif Roman), Bera Sans (a Frutiger descendant), and
Bera Mono (monospaced/typewriter). Support for use in LaTeX is also
provided. The Bera family is a repackaging, for use with TeX, of the
Bitstream Vera family.

for pkgsrc-wip.
Urban Renewal is a set of insanely great TrueType versions of the long-
forgotten city-named fonts of Mac OS Classic, not seen since System 7.1.
These TrueType versions are kare-fully constructed to be as faithful to
the original designs as possible, while breaking free of the bitmap grid
in subtle ways.
A serif typeface derived from Old Style Antique designed by Alexander
Phemister in 1858 for Miller and Richard foundry. Consider to use the
Kerkis font, which is an extension of Bookman with math support and
support for greek characters or the enhanced version available with
the TEX Gyre Bonum font.
