-FONTLOG
-Gentium font family
-========================
-
-
-This file provides detailed information on the Gentium family of fonts. This
-information should be distributed along with the Gentium fonts and any
-derivative works.
-
-
-Basic Font Information
-----------------------
-
-Gentium ("belonging to the nations" in Latin) is a Unicode typeface family
-designed to enable the many diverse ethnic groups around the world who use
-the Latin script to produce readable, high-quality publications. The design
-is intended to be highly readable, reasonably compact, and visually
-attractive. Gentium has won a "Certificate of Excellence in Typeface Design"
-in two major international typeface design competitions: bukva:raz! (2001),
-TDC2003 (2003).
-
-Gentium provides glyphs for a wide range of Latin and Greek characters. The
-additional 'extended' Latin letters are designed to naturally harmonize with
-the traditional 26 ones. Diacritics are treated with careful thought and
-attention to their use. Gentium also supports both ancient and modern Greek,
-including a number of alternate forms. It currently supports the following
-ranges of Unicode 3.0 (completely unless noted):
-
-Range Description
-U+0020-U+007F Basic Latin
-U+00A0-U+00FF Latin-1 Supplement
-U+0100-U+017F Latin Extended-A
-U+0180-U+021F Latin Extended-B
-U+0222-U+0233 Latin Extended-B (continued)
-U+0250-U+02AD IPA Extensions
-U+02B0-U+02FF Spacing Modifier Letters
-U+0300-U+036F Combining Diacritical Marks
-U+0370-U+03D5 Greek (not including archaic or Coptic)
-U+1E00-U+1EFF Latin Extended Additional
-U+1F00-U+1FFF Greek Extended
-U+2000-U+203A General Punctuation (partial)
-U+2070-U+209F Superscripts and Subscripts
-U+20A0-U+20CF Currency Symbols (partial)
-U+2100-U+214F Letterlike Symbols (only a couple)
-
-Gentium Regular also includes some Cyrillic glyphs, but they are only early
-drafts. A future version will include a completely revised set, including
-italic, and will expand the support for Latin, Greek and Cyrillic to Unicode
-4.1.

-ChangeLog
----------
-(This should list both major and minor changes, most recent first.)
-
-24th June 2011 (David Raymond) Gentium version 1.03
-- Changed licensing to the SIL Open Font License version 1.1
-
-28 Nov 2005 (Victor Gaultney) Gentium version 1.02
-- Changed licensing to the SIL Open Font License
-- Included FontLab source files
-- Fixed some duplicate PostScript glyphs names
-- Fixed italic angle
-
-19 Sep 2003 (Victor Gaultney) Gentium version 1.01
-- Maintenance release focused on changing internal font
-- Information to reflect the changeover to an SIL project
-- There is only one bug fix - the Greek mu PS name was changed to try and fix
-a display/printing problem. There is still no manual hinting
-
-16 Sep 2002 (Victor Gaultney) Gentium version 1.00
-- First public release
-- No manual hinting is included in this version. Some has been done - with
-good results - but is not yet complete enough.
-
-
-Information for Contributors
-----------------------------
-
-The main point of version 1.03 is to enable modification via the OFL 1.1 and to
-establish a means for people to contribute to the project. For information
-on what you're allowed to change or modify, consult the OFL and OFL-FAQ. The
-OFL-FAQ also gives a very general rationale regarding why you would want to
-contribute to the project.
-
-Anyone can make their own modified version of Gentium (using a different
-name), but SIL International will continue to maintain and develop the
-canonical version of the Gentium fonts. As the package maintainer, we warmly
-welcome contributions. Here are some things to keep in mind:
-
-Format: We are open to contributions in various formats, but if you want to
-maximise the chances of us including your work, please make it available to
-us (via email or a URL) as either a FontLab database (preferred) or a
-PostScript Type 1 (or OT-CFF) font.
-
-Source files: We're including FontLab databases used in developing
-the fonts. The current fonts, however, were not solely built from
-this FontLab database, so a simple "Generate Font" will not give you an
-identical result. These databases are provided not as canonical source but
-as an aid to anyone who might find it useful to have access to the
-PostScript-style curves before they were turned into TrueType ones. BTW -
-although only two databases are provided, they contain all the Alt glyphs.
-In the future we may be making our 'source' available in three formats:
-OpenType (TrueType), OT-CFF, and FontLab.
-
-Copyright attribution: If you submit something for inclusion in the main
-Gentium fonts, we will ask you to affirm that it is your original work, and
-ask you to assign the copyright of your work to SIL International. This is
-to ensure that future releases can be made under improved versions of the
-OFL without needing to track you down for further permission. This follows
-the same principle used by the FSF. Keep in mind that we are a
-not-for-profit organization committed to free/libre and open source
-software, and that any contributions incorporated in the fonts will always
-be available under the OFL or a similar license.
-
-Quality: Because we want to be able to guarantee a high level of quality for
-the primary Gentium fonts, we will review submissions carefully. Please
-don't be discouraged if we do not include a submission for this reason, or
-ask you to make specific revisions.
-
-What types of contributions are welcomed now (some more than others):
-- Old style figures
-- Small caps (although we would want such done for *all* caps, not just A-Z)
-- Specifications for smart Greek code (write us about this)
-- Coptic
-- Historic/Archaic Cyrillic
-- Glyphs used for ancient Greek text study (but not alphabetic ones, like
-the digamma)
-- Mathematical glyphs
-- OpenType code and glyphs for on-the-fly fraction creation
-- Additional scripts (Armenian, etc.?), and any needed OT/Graphite/AAT code
-- Other things that we may have once told you we didn't have time to do :-)
-
-What is not needed at this point:
-- Revisions to the basic letters or their spacing
-- Cyrillic revisions or additions. These are already in process
-- Other weights (Bold, Bold italic). We already have some work done on this
-- Alphabetic Ancient Greek glyphs (digamma, etc.). These are done and are
-waiting for the next release
-- Unicode 4.1 additions for Latin. We have these already in the pipeline
-- General Latin/Cyrillic OpenType/Graphite/AAT code - we already have this
-(see our Doulos SIL project)
-- Kerning - there is some in place
-- Hinting - although if you could offer to do some hinting, let us know :-)
-
-So why didn't we include some of this in this release? The only change for
-1.02 is the new licensing model. We thought that it was important to get a
-revised font out before we had completed the next big revision. We also
-didn't want to hold up release until we had everything neat and tidy :-)
-
-When submissions will be included: We hope to have a revised version of the
-Regular and Italic fonts (including full Cyrillic) completed by mid-2006. To
-do this we will need submissions early in the year. Other weights will
-follow after that.
-
-WARNINGS: The details of the source files and build procedures will be
-changing radically before the next release, so do not spend too much time
-working on systems that depend on the current FontLab database information.
-Also - the Cyrillic glyphs in the regular font are very early prototypes and
-will be changing completely. So don't bother to modify them!
