Wagner, http://icebearsoft.euweb.cz + +This package contains Type1 and OpenType versions of OCR-B fonts. +The METAFONT sources were developed by: + + Norbert Schwarz + Ruhr-Universitaet Bochum + Rechenzentrum + Postfach 10 21 48 + D-4630 Bochum 1 + West Germany + + EARN: P920021@DBORUB01 + + Norbert/Schwarz/ruhr-uni-bochum/de + +The license of the outline fonts is the same as for the original fonts, +i.e. you may freely use, modify, and/or distribute any of these files, +without limitation. + +It is necesary to stress that TeX needs metric files in addition to the +Type1 files. The metric files are not included in this package. The PFB +files will therefore be useless without the original OCR-B package. + +The METAFONT sources were first processed by mftrace using potrace +as a vectorizer. A few years later the resulting Type1 files were +manually converted to OpenType by fontforge. The SFD files are also +distributed. + +The conversion was done just automatically, the results were not carefully +examined. The result is decent if used in design size. The fonts might +be unusable in larger sizes. + +It might be useful to combine all OTF files into a single font with several +optical sizes. |
