The conversion to Type 1 +necessarily introduces changes in the implementation of the shapes and +the metrics. No changes to the shapes or advance widths have been made +by humans, but a few human-made changes are in the kerning tables; +see below. + +The Gentium Plus PS fonts incorporate the name "Gentium" by permission +of SIL given to the TeX Users Group (TUG). These fonts are released and +maintained by volunteers (see list of people below), under the auspices +of TUG. For internal development changes, see the file ChangeLog. + +The SIL release has its own FONTLOG.txt, included in the parallel +GentiumPlus-* directory. Please consult it for a full record of changes +to the fonts. + +The home page for the Gentium Plus PS fonts and TeX support package: +https://tug.org/gentium +Mailing list: gentium@tug.org (https://lists.tug.org/gentium) + +21 May 2022 Gentium Plus PS version 1.101 +- Update to GentiumPlus 6.101. This contains two font families: Gentium Plus + and Gentium Book Plus. +- All encodings support regular, italic, bold and bold italic styles now. + Previously bold and bold italic styles were available only for Latin + encodings and they missed many accented characters. +- Remove ConTeXt support from this package, since Gentium support has + been in ConTeXt itself for some time. + +9 July 2019 Gentium Plus PS version 1.1.1 +- In lgr-*.tfm (only), add ligatures sigma + boundarychar -> final sigma. + +6 April 2015 Gentium Plus PS version 1.1 +- Update to GentiumPlus 5.000. + +2 July 2013 Gentium Plus PS version 1.0 +- First public release. + + +Basic information +----------------- +Each of the eight fonts in GentiumPlus and GentiumBookPlus (regular, +italic, bold, bold italic) have been converted to Type 1. + +These are the changes in the converted fonts; we hope they will be +incorporated in the original fonts in due time. + +- Some extra kerning pairs were added between accents and capital + Greek letters. + +- There are additional kerning pairs for accented Latin letters, the + Czech/Slovak letters dcaron and lcaron, and for small caps. The + original fonts have no such kerning pairs. Manual corrections are + still needed in some cases, e.g., initial cap followed by small cap. + +- Several kerning pairs were added for Cyrillic letters. There were no + kerning pairs for Cyrillic letters in the original fonts. These pairs + try to improve the most obvious problems, but they are far from + complete. + +- There was a positive kern between the letters D and V in the regular + style of Gentium Plus. The derived font has a negative kern. + +The conversion process, including these changes, is implemented in the +Python and FontForge scripts included in the packages, e.g., ff-gentium.pe. +Except that since the final sigma ligatures added in July 2019 only +involve the TeX files, they were implemented with TeX tools; +see ./source/fonts/gentium-tug/Makefile for specifics. + +Acknowledgements +---------------- +Here is where contributors to the TeX package should be acknowledged.
