This information should be distributed along with the STIX Two +fonts and any derivative works. + +Please direct any questions or general comments to the STIX Fonts +project. Bug reports and technical support issues should be submitted +through + + https://github.com/stipub/stixfonts + +where you can also find a list of known issues. + +Basic Font Information +---------------------- + +INTRODUCTION + +The Scientific and Technical Information eXchange (STIX) fonts are +intended to satisfy the demanding needs of authors, publishers, +printers, and others working in the scientific, medical, and technical +fields. They combine a comprehensive Unicode-based collection of +mathematical symbols and alphabets with a set of text faces suitable +for professional publishing. The fonts are available royalty-free +under the SIL Open Font License. + +Version 2.0.0 of the STIX fonts, now known as "STIX Two", is a +thorough revision undertaken by the renowned type house Tiro Typeworks +Ltd. (https://www.tiro.com). The STIX Two fonts consist of one Math +font, two variable text fonts (STIXTwoTextVF-Roman and +STIXTwoTextVF-Italic), and eight static text fonts (Regular, Italic, +Medium, Medium Italic, SemiBold, SemiBold Italic, Bold, and Bold +Italic) derived from the variable fonts. Together, they provide a +uniform set of fonts that can be used throughout the production +process, whether that be a traditional print-only process, an entirely +electronic one, or a combination of the two. + +The STIX project began through the joint efforts of American +Mathematical Society (AMS), American Institute of Physics (AIP), +American Physical Society (APS), American Chemical Society (ACS), +Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers (IEEE), and Elsevier. +These companies are collectively known as the STI Pub companies. + +A FRESH TAKE ON TIMES ROMAN + +The original version of STIX was based on Times Roman, which has now +been updated for the digital age. + +As is well known, Times Roman was originally intended for printing the +London Times. What is not generally appreciated is that the +production quality of the *Times* was atypically high: It was printed +on unusually high-quality paper on presses that operated more slowly +than most newspaper presses. This allowed for the design of a +typeface that could exploit this level of care: serifs could be much +finer and counters (enclosed areas such as that in the lowercase e) +could be much smaller than in other newspaper typefaces. These +features of the font have not always fared well in less exacting +environments. At the same time, a notable quirk of the Times Roman +family is that the bold font is, in many respects, strikingly +dissimilar to the roman font. + +Tiro Typeworks explain their approach to updating the Times Roman +basis of STIX as follows: + + "Our principal goal in approaching STIX Two was to address several + inherent deficiencies in the Times New Roman model as well as + expand the typographic features. This process necessarily + involved diverging somewhat from Times, given that many features + of that typeface are either incompatible with current printing + methods and electronic reading environments, and some others too + esoteric to repeat. That said, the essential 'Times-ness' + remains, we believe, and such changes won't distract readers and + users in any negative way. + + "At the core of Times' problems was inappropriate digitization, + using an optical size model too large to be scaled down to text + sizes, with compensations appropriate to its original purpose and + printing technique, but not for 21st century conditions. We have + also re-thought somewhat overall proportions and spacing, with + changes made in varying degrees to both the Roman and the Italic + (and we have begun to harmonize the Bold, which has always been a + major shortcoming with Times New Roman)." + +ChangeLog +--------- + +13 January 2021, STIX Two, version 2.11 + +* Changed "Semibold" to "SemiBold" in all font and file names. + +* Fixed various technical issues required for compatibility with the + Google Fonts platform. There were no changes to font metrics or + glyph shapes. + +----------------------------------- + +18 December 2020, STIX Two, version 2.10 + +For compatibility with the internal major/minor versioning convention +used by the OpenType font format, the public version number was +switched from the three-part semantic versioning convention to a +two-part number. + +All non-variable fonts are now available in both OTF and TTF formats. + +The WOFF format is no longer distributed. + +COMPATIBILITY BETWEEN 2.0.2 AND 2.10 + +There have been extensive changes to both glyph shapes and font +metrics in this release. These could affect the layout of documents +prepared with previous versions of these fonts. + +UPDATES TO MATH AND TEXT FONTS + +The following changes apply to both the text and math fonts: + +* Removed the Macintosh platform entries from the name table as they + are now considered obsolete. + +* Completed U+2100..214F Letterlike Symbols by adding + + U+2100 ACCOUNT OF + U+2101 ADDRESSED TO THE SUBJECT + U+2103 DEGREE CELSIUS + U+2104 CENTRE LINE SYMBOL + U+2106 CADA UNA + U+2108 SCRUPLE + U+2109 DEGREE FAHRENHEIT + + U+2114 L B BAR SYMBOL + U+211F RESPONSE + + U+2120 SERVICE MARK + U+2121 TELEPHONE SIGN + U+2123 VERSICLE + U+212A KELVIN SIGN + + U+2139 INFORMATION SOURCE + U+213A ROTATED CAPITAL Q + U+213B ROTATED CAPITAL Q + + U+214C PER SIGN + U+214D AKTIESELSKAB + U+214E TURNED SMALL F + U+214F SYMBOL FOR SAMARITAN SOURCE + +* Extended U+2000..206F General Punctuation by adding + + U+2000 EN QUAD + U+2001 EM QUAD + U+2002 EN SPACE + U+2003 EM SPACE + U+2004 THREE-PER-EM SPACE + U+2005 FOUR-PER-EM SPACE + U+2006 SIX-PER-EM SPACE + U+2007 FIGURE SPACE + U+2008 PUNCTUATION SPACE + U+2009 THIN SPACE + U+200A HAIR SPACE + U+200B ZERO WIDTH SPACE + U+200C ZERO WIDTH NON-JOINER + U+200D ZERO WIDTH JOINER + U+202F NARROW NO-BREAK SPACE + + In addition, U+2026 HORIZONTAL ELLIPSIS was redrawn. + +UPDATES TO TEXT FONTS + +* 2.10 includes OpenType variable font builds for the Text fonts + (STIXTwoTextVF-Roman.ttf and STIXTwoTextVF-Italic.ttf). For more + information about variable fonts see: + + https://medium.com/variable-fonts/https-medium-com-tiro-introducing-opentype-variable-fonts-12ba6cd2369 + + The STIX Two Text variable fonts support a weight interpolation axis + between the regular and bold weights, with named instances for + medium and semibold.

Special attention has been given to implementing accepted best +practices for OpenType fonts, such as the use of font features to +access variant glyph shapes that were previously only available via +the Unicode Private Use Areas. + +The letterspacing and kerning of the text fonts have been +significantly improved. + +True small capital variants (Latin, Cyrillic, and Greek), accessible +via the OpenType font feature smcp, have been added for all text +fonts. + +Text (lowercase or oldstyle) numerals, available via the font features +pnum and onum, have been added, in addition to natural-spacing +figures. + +Alphabetic superscripts and numeric sub- and superscripts, accessible +via the subs and sups font features, have been added. + +Fractions are available via the frac feature, as well as numerators +(numr) and denominators (dnom). + +The OpenType MATH table has been completely rewritten and extended. + +Additions have been made to these Unicode blocks: + Latin-1 Supplement U+0080 - U+00FF + Latin Extended-A U+0100 - U+017F + Latin Extended Additional U+0180 - U+024F + Cyrillic U+0400 - U+04FF + Greek and Coptic U+0370 - U+03FF + IPA blocks U+0250 - U+02AF + +BACKWARDS COMPATIBILITY + +Because of the scope of the changes, especially to the text fonts, +STIX Two is not a drop-in replacement for earlier versions. While we +understand and sympathize with the difficulties caused by the +incompatibilities we have introduced, we nevertheless felt they were +necessary to address some of the shortcomings of earlier versions of +the fonts and to position us to respond to the needs of modern +publishing. + +Earlier versions of the STIX fonts are deprecated and no longer +supported. We urge all users of the STIX fonts to upgrade to the new +versions as soon as possible. + +To enable the new and old versions of the fonts to coexist during the +transition phase, the fonts have been renamed as follows: + + STIX 1.1.0 STIX 2.0.0 + + STIX-Regular STIX Two Text + STIX-Italic STIX Two Text Italic + STIX-Bold STIX Two Text Bold + STIX-BoldItalic STIX Two Text Bold Italic + + STIX Math Regular STIX Two Math + +The four text fonts contain glyphs from Unicode text blocks only. For +example, all characters from the range U+2190 to U+3063 and U+E000 to +U+E368 and all plane 1 characters have been removed from the text +fonts and are now found only in STIX Two Math. Whenever possible, +characters have been removed from the Private Use Area (U+E000-U+F8FF) +and made available via font features instead. + +The STIX-General packaging of the fonts is no longer supported. + +Acknowledgements +---------------- + +Tiro Typeworks Ltd. +https://www.tiro.com |
