+############ A BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE FONT ############
+###########################################################################
+
+TeX Gyre DejaVu Math is a math companion for the DejaVu Serif
+family of fonts in the OpenType format;
+see the LICENSE-DejaVu.txt file or http://dejavu-fonts.org/wiki/Main_Page
+and http://dejavu-fonts.org/wiki/License .
+
+The math OTF fonts should contain a special table, MATH,
+described in the Microsoft specification "MATH -- The
+mathematical typesetting table", ver. 1.7, March 2015
+( http://www.microsoft.com/typography/otspec/math.htm ).
+Moreover, they should contain a broad collection of
+special characters (see "Technical Report #25.
+UNICODE SUPPORT FOR MATHEMATICS" by Barbara Beeton,
+Asmus Freytag, and Murray Sargent III, http://unicode.org/reports/tr25/ ).
+In particular, math OTF scripts are expected to contain the following
+scripts: a basic serif script (regular, bold, italic and
+bold italic), a calligraphic script (regular and bold),
+a double-struck script, a fraktur script (regular and
+bold), a sans-serif script (regular, bold, oblique and
+bold oblique), and a monospaced script.
+
+Most of non-math glyphs have been excerpted from the original
+DejaVu Serif, Sans, and Mono families of fonts; exception
+is the fraktur script which we excerpted from the renowned Euler family
+http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AMS_Euler (we used the old Type 1
+AMS public domain fonts; note that after reshaping in 2009,
+the Euler fonts have been released under the Open Font License),
+calligraphic script, and Hebrew script (four symbols). The latter
+two scripts, as well as math symbols (operators, relational symbols,
+braces, arrows, accents etc.) have been designed to match visually
+the basic font.
+
+Note that the members of all the mentioned alphabets, except for
+the main roman alphabet, should be considered symbols, not letters.
+Symbols are not expected to occur in a text stream; instead,
+they are expected to appear lonely, perhaps with some embellishments
+like subscripts, superscripts, primes, dots above and below, etc.
+
+To produce the font, MetaType1 and the FontForge library were used:
+the Type1 PostScript font containing all relevant characters was
+generated with the MetaType1 engine, and the result was converted
+into the OTF format with all the necessary data structures by
+a Python script employing the FontForge library.

+
+The GUST e-Foundry Math Fonts Project was launched and is supported by
+TeX USERS GROUPS (CS TUG, DANTE eV, GUST, NTG, TUG India, TUG, UK TUG).
+Hearty thanks to the representatives of these groups and also
+to all people who helped with their work, comments, ideas,
+remarks, bug reports, objections, hints, consolations, etc.
