+ Cantarell, version 3.1
+------------------------
+
+Cantarell is a contemporary humanist sans serif, and is used by the GNOME
+project for its user interface.
+
+Cantarell was originally designed by Dave Crossland as part of his coursework
+for the MA Typeface Design program at the Department of Typography in the
+University of Reading, England. After the GNOME project adopted the typeface in
+November 2010, minor modifications and slight expansions were made to it over
+the years, notably by Jakub Steiner. Pooja Saxena initially worked on the
+typeface as a participant of the GNOME outreach program and later developed her
+own Devanagari typeface Cambay, which included a redesigned latin version of
+Cantarell. It was backported to the GNOME branch of Cantarell by Nikolaus
+Waxweiler, who also performed other janitorial tasks on it.
+
+This font family, delivered under the OFL version 1.1, is available on the GNOME
+download server as CFF-flavored OpenType files.
+
+This package provides support for Cantarell in LaTeX, including XeLaTeX and
+LuaLaTeX. It includes the original OpenType fonts, as well as Type 1 versions,
+converted for this package using cfftot1 for full support with LaTeX and Dvips.
+
+This package is released under the LaTeX Project Public License, either version
+1.3c or above, with the exception of the .pfb and .sfd files, released under the
+Open Font License version 1.1.

+If you have comments about the package, please contact Mohamed El Morabity
