-FONTLOG
-Gentium Plus font family
-========================
-
-
-This file provides detailed information on the Gentium Plus family of fonts.
-This information should be distributed along with the Gentium Plus 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).
-
-The Gentium Plus font family is based on the original design. It currently
-comes with regular and italic face only, although additional weights are in
-development.
-
-The goal for this product is to provide a single Unicode-based font family
-that contains a comprehensive inventory of glyphs needed for almost any
-Roman- or Cyrillic-based writing system, whether used for phonetic or
-orthographic needs, and provide a matching Greek face. In addition, there
-is provision for other characters and symbols useful to linguists. This
-font makes use of state-of-the-art font technologies to support complex
-typographic issues, such as the need to position arbitrary combinations
-of base glyphs and diacritics optimally.
-
-Two fonts from this typeface family are included in this release:
-
- * Gentium Plus Regular
- * Gentium Plus Italic
-
-Work is ongoing to provide bold and bold-italic weights, as well as a
-complete book-weight family.
-
-For detailed documentation see the contents of the 'documentation' folder.
-
-
-A Note Regarding the Open Font License and TypeTuner
-----------------------------------------------------
-
-The OFL prohibits the use of Reserved Font Names "Gentium" and "SIL" in
-the name of any font that is derived from the Original Version of Gentium
-Plus. However, SIL International (the Copyright Holder) grants through
-this separate written agreement the right to use the Reserved Font Names
-in any Modified Version of this font created by using TypeTuner as long
-as the feature information contained in the Original Version is used,
-unmodified, as the source for TypeTuner feature information, and
-"Gentium Plus" is not the resulting font family name.
-
-TypeTuner-produced fonts created in this manner are still bound by the
-terms of the OFL. Specifically, the use of Reserved Font Names is
-prohibited when making derivatives of a TypeTuner-produced font. Anyone
-making a derivative of a TypeTuner font will need to find a different
-name. For example a TypeTuner-produced font may be named
-"Gentium Plus Literacy SomeFarAwayPlace" but a derivative of that font made
-with other tools would not be allowed to use the "Gentium" and "SIL"
-Reserved Font Names and would have to be named something like "Nations Serif".

-Information for Developers/Contributors
----------------------------------------
-
-The release of Gentium Plus version 1.502 (and any subsequent versions) under
-the OFL license provides a means for people to modify the fonts to meet their
-needs and contribute to the project. For information on what you're allowed to
-change or modify, consult the OFL and OFL-FAQ.
-
-Anyone can make their own modified version of Gentium Plus (using a different
-name), but SIL International will continue to maintain and develop the
-canonical version of the Gentium Plus fonts. As the package maintainer, we
-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: The primary source files for the fonts are the fonts themselves.
-They contain all the important data in the fonts and can be studied and
-modified using open font tools such as FontForge and TTX. The developer
-release contains additional source files that might be useful. See the file
-source/SOURCES.txt in that release archive for further information.
-
-Copyright attribution: If you submit something for inclusion in the main
-Gentium Plus 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 Plus 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.
-
-Types of contributions: If you wish to make a contribution - a set of
-additional glyphs, scripts, code, etc. - please contact us before you do any
-work to see if it is a contribution we currently need. Every addition adds
-to the complexity of the project and needs to be carefully planned. This
-also avoids two people working on the same type of addition at the same time.
-
-Linux packages: Please contact the upstream maintainer of the various
-packages - nicolas_spalinger@sil.org - if you want to help package or
-maintain a package.
-
-When submissions will be included: We plan to revise the fonts when major
-updates are needed (eg new versions of Unicode). If you wish to make
-submissions, contact us on the timing.
-
