+############ A BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE PACKAGE ############
+###########################################################################
+
+The current package contains the most recent version of the TeX Gyre
+Pagella family of fonts in the PostScript Type 1 and OpenType formats.
+TeX Gyre Pagella is based on the URW Palladio L kindly released
+by URW++ Design and Development Inc. under GFL (independently of the GPL
+release accompanying Ghostscript). 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);

+
+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. The number of glyphs in the PFB/OTF files (.notdef ignored) equals
+1616/1548; see qpl-info.pdf file in the relevant doc directory for details
