+The Pazo Math fonts
+for mathematical typesetting with the Palatino fonts
+
+ Font outlines version 1.003, 17 May 2002
+ by Diego Puga <d.puga@utoronto.ca>
+
+ For use with PSNFSS version 9
+=====================================================================
+
+The Pazo Math fonts are a family of PostScript fonts suitable for
+typesetting math in combination with the Palatino family of text
+fonts. They are required by the LaTeX macro package mathpazo.sty, now
+part of the PSNFSS bundle. The mathpazo.sty package defines the
+Palatino family as the default roman font and uses the virtual
+mathpazo fonts, built around the Pazo Math family, for typesetting
+math in a style that suits Palatino.
+
+The Pazo Math family is made up of five fonts provided in Type1 format
+(PazoMath, PazoMath-Italic, PazoMath-Bold, PazoMath-BoldItalic, and
+PazoMathBlackboardBold). These contain, in designs that suit
+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 math 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 complete uppercase latin alphabet plus number one in
+blackboard bold.
+
+The current distribution comprises the printer font binary (pfb) files
+with the PostScript outlines, the Adobe font metrics (afm) files, and
+the font information (inf) files for the Pazo Math family.
+
+The TeX font metrics (tfm) files, the LaTeX macro package
+mathpazo.sty, and a set of virtual math fonts that combine glyphs from
+Pazo Math, Computer Modern, and Palatino to form complete math fonts
+for use with TeX/LaTeX are part of the PSNFSS bundle version 9.
+
+For those wishing to rebuild or modify the virtual fonts, the fontinst
+sources of the mathpazo virtual fonts are still available with this
+distribution.
+
+
+Installation and usage
+======================
+
+Please see the documentation included with the PSNFSS bundle for
+installation and usage intructions. The following notes pertain files
+not required by PSNFSS.
+
+The directory inf/ contains font information files for the Pazo
+Math family. You need these files only in case you want to
+install the Pazo Math fonts in Adobe Type Manager for use with
+other applications (ATM will then combine afm and inf files into
+pfm files).
+
+The directory fontinst/ contains the fontinst sources of the virtual
+mathpazo fonts. You need these files only in case you want to rebuild
+or modify the fonts. If you want to rebuild the fonts, you will also
+need the Adobe font metrics for the Palatino fonts (you can download
+these files from
+ftp://ftp.adobe.com/pub/adobe/type/win/all/afmfiles/001-050/001/ and
+then rename them with the Karl Berry names: rename pob_____.afm to
+pplb8a.afm, pobi____.afm to pplbi8a.afm, poi_____.afm to pplri8a.afm,
+por_____.afm to pplr8a.afm). The fontinst scripts require fontinst
+version 1.914 because they rely on features available only starting
+from that version.
+
+
+Acknowledgements
+================
+
+The fontinst scripts for the mathpazo fonts are based on scripts by
+Walter Schmidt for the mathpple fonts. Those in turn are based on
+fontinst scripts written by Aloysius Helminck and distributed in
+conjunction with fontinst v1.335. The package mathpazo.sty also
+builds on Walter Schmidt's mathpple.sty and has many similarities with
+it. Walter has subsequently improved mathpazo.sty and included it in
+the PSNFSS bundle. I am grateful to him for writing mathpple.sty and
+for making the fontinst sources available, as well as for his many
+improvements to the mathpazo.sty package. Alan Hoenig and Martin
+Osborne kindly tested an early version of the fonts. Martin also
+provided many helpful comments on the design of several glyphs. George
+White suggested ending the encoding vector by `readonly def' instead
+of `def' to avoid an error with versions of pdftex prior to 0.14g.
+Franz Achermann reported a bad /BBox error in Acrobat with some pdf
+files created with pdftex, which has now been resolved. Pablo
+Rodríguez pointed out the unusual shape of \varigma in the first
+version. Marco Kuhlmann pointed out a couple of inconsistencies in
+the positioning of the double strokes in Pazo Math Blackboard Bold.
+The font outlines for the Pazo Math family were designed and
+hinted using FontLab (http://www.fontlab.com). Of course, NONE of the
+glyphs in the Pazo Math fonts were derived from Adobe's or Linotype's
+Palatino or from any other commercial font. To maintain a family
+look, some glyphs (particularly those similar to standard text glyphs,
+such as the blackboard bold uppercase letters or the dotless j) were
+derived from a version of URWPalladioL distributed under the GNU
+General Public License. All trademarks mentioned are the property of
+their respective owners.
+
+
+Changes to the Type 1 fonts
+===========================
+
+Version 1.003
+-------------
+
+* Changed the positioning of the double stroke in X and Z in Pazo Math
+ Blackboard Bold (suggested by Marco Kuhlmann).
+
+Version 1.002
+-------------
+
+* Added all the remaining uppercase latin letters and number one to
+ Pazo Math Blackboard Bold.
+
+* Re-designed \Phi to make it better proportioned (suggestion
+ passed on by Walter Schmidt).
+
+* Re-designed \varsigma to give it a more recognisable shape
+ (suggested by Pablo Rodríguez). Re-designed \xi and \zeta to match
+ the new \varsigma.
+
+Version 1.001
+-------------
+
+* Changed the end of the encoding vector in the .pfb files from
+ `def' to `readonly def' to avoid an error with versions of pdftex
+ prior to 0.14g (suggested by George White).
+
+* Eliminated the space after `/FontBBox {' in the .pfb files
+ to avoid a bad /BBox error in Acrobat with some pdf files created
+ with pdftex (problem reported by Franz Achermann).
+
+Version 1.000
+-------------
+
+* First public release.
