The Vietnamese glyphs were added +by Han The Thanh. + +TeX Gyre Pagella can be used as a replacement for the renowned Palatino +font (designed by Hermann Zapf in the 1940's for the Stempel type foundry; +an interesting lifestory of Hermann Zapf can be found at: +http://www.linotype.com/1494/theschoolyears.html ); + +Note that the widths of the TeX Gyre Pagella glyphs are almost consistent +with the relevant Adobe metric data (for the glyphs from the Adobe Standard +Encoding): + ftp://ftp.adobe.com/pub/adobe/type/win/all/afmfiles/base35/pob_____.afm + ftp://ftp.adobe.com/pub/adobe/type/win/all/afmfiles/base35/pobi____.afm + ftp://ftp.adobe.com/pub/adobe/type/win/all/afmfiles/base35/poi_____.afm + ftp://ftp.adobe.com/pub/adobe/type/win/all/afmfiles/base35/por_____.afm + +The only exception is `perthousand' in the regular variant (Adobe: 1144; +TeX Gyre: 1000 which is consistent with the width of perthousand in other +variants). The discrepancy (in the regular variant) between the width +of the glyph `i' (291) and the width of `dotlessi' (287) was preserved +as optically irrelevant. + + * * * + +The TeX Gyre project, following the Latin Modern project, aims at providing +a rich collection of diacritical characters in the attempt to cover as many +Latin-based scripts as possible. To our knowledge, the repertoire of +characters covers all European languages as well as some other Latin-based +alphabets such as Vietnamese and Navajo; at the request of users, recent +extensions (following the enhancement of the Latin Modern collection) +provide glyphs sufficient for typesetting of romanized transliterations +of Arabic and Sanskrit scripts. We have frequently used the information +presented by Michael Everson at the ``The Alphabets of Europe'' +( http://www.evertype.com/alphabets/ ) web site. If you know about European +languages that are not covered completely or if some glyphs have apparently +wrong shapes -- please let us know. Note, however, that Greek glyphs +bear provisional character. + +The TeX Gyre Project was launched and is supported by TeX USERS GROUPS +(CS TUG, DANTE eV, GUST, NTG, TUG India, TUG). Hearty thanks to the +representatives of these groups and also to all people who helped with +comments, ideas, remarks, bug reports, objections, hints, consolations, etc. + + * * * + +The TeX Gyre Pagella family consists of 4 text fonts: regular, +italic, bold and bold italic (qplr, qplri, qplb, qplbi). + +The TeX Gyre Pagella family can be freely used and distributed +under the GUST Font License (see above) which is actually +an instance of the LaTeX Project Public License +(LPPL; see http://www.latex-project.org/lppl.txt ). + + * * * + +The package consists of the files in the directories conforming +to the TeX Directory Structure (v. 1.1). The directories contain: + +doc/fonts/tex-gyre this file, manifest, licence, test files, + and, moreover, selected files used as input + for generating OTFs (meant as a technical + documentation of the OTFs) +tex/latex/tex-gyre support for LaTeX (*.fd and *.sty files, + prepared by Marcin Woli\'nski) +fonts/enc/dvips/tex-gyre support for dvips (*.enc files); + NOTE: all fonts of the TeX Gyre family + share the same *.enc files with + a few exceptions: CS, QX, and RM encodings + for TeX Gyre Cursor (monospace) differ + from the standard ones (because of the + compatibility with Computer Modern + typewriter fonts requested by users), + and, moreover, CS, L7x, QX and RM encodings + for TeX Gyre Chorus exploit exceptionally + the `lslash_lslash' ligature +fonts/map/dvips/tex-gyre support for dvips (*.map files) +fonts/opentype/public/tex-gyre fonts in the OpenType format (*.otf files) +fonts/type1/public/tex-gyre PostScript (Type 1) font files and printer + font metric files (*.pfb and *.pfm, + respectively); +fonts/tfm/public/tex-gyre TeX font metric files (*.tfm) for: + -- CS (CSTUG) encoding (cs-*.tfm), + -- EC (Cork) encoding (ec-*.tfm), + -- L7x (Lithuanian) encoding (l7x-*.tfm), + -- QX (GUST) encoding (qx-*.tfm), + -- RM (Regular Math or OT1) encoding (rm-*.tfm), + -- Y&Y's TeX'n'ANSI aka LY1 encoding + (texnansi-*.tfm), + -- T5 (Vietnamese) encoding (t5-*.tfm), + -- Text Companion for EC fonts aka TS1 + (ts1-*.tfm). + Encodings CS, EC, L7x, QX, RM, Y&Y, and T5 + have their cap-small-caps counterparts + (*-sc.tfm). +fonts/afm/public/tex-gyre Adobe font metric files (*.afm); + +Email contact: Bogus\l{}aw Jackowski aka Jacko, B_Jackowski@gust.org.pl + + * * * + +In ConTeXt, support for TeX Gyre Collection can be found in the typescript +definition files: + + ... /tex/context/base/type-enc.tex + ... /tex/context/base/type-syn.tex + ... /tex/context/base/type-exa.tex + ... /tex/context/base/type-map.tex + +Additional encoding and map files can be found under: + + ... /texmf/fonts/map/pdftex/context + ... /texmf/fonts/enc/pdftex/context + + * * * + +All four font files, qplb, qplbi, qplr, qplri, share the same repertoire +of characters.
