+############ A BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE FONT ############
+###########################################################################
+
+TeX Gyre Pagella Math is a math companion for the TeX Gyre Pagella family
+of fonts (see http://www.gust.org.pl/projects/e-foundry/tex-gyre/) in
+the OpenType format.
+
+The math OTF fonts should contain a special table, MATH, described in the
+confidential Microsoft document "The MATH table and OpenType Features
+for Math Processing". Moreover, they should contain a broad collection
+of special characters (see "Draft Unicode Technical Report #25.
+UNICODE SUPPORT FOR MATHEMATICS" by Barbara Beeton, Asmus Freytag,
+and Murray Sargent III). 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.
+
+The basic script is, obviously, TeX Gyre Pagella. Greek symbols
+were taken from the Math Pazo font by Diego Puga with the kind
+permission from the author to use his work with the GFL licence.
+The double struck font was created from scratch as well as
+the math extension, i.e., the main component of the font.
+
+Other scripts, however, are borrowed from other fonts (the current
+selection, however, may be subject to change):
+
+ * the calligraphic alphabet was taken from the Odstemplik font
+ (http://www.dafont.com/odstemplik.font) with the kind permission
+ from the author to use his font with the GFL licence;
+
+ * the fraktur script is excerpted from the renowned Euler family
+ (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AMS_Euler);
+
+ * the sans serif alphabets are excerpted from another renowned font,
+ DejaVu Sans (the DejaVu fonts are a font family based
+ on the Bitstream Vera Fonts, released under a free license,
+ http://dejavu-fonts.org/wiki/Main_Page);
+
+ * and finally, the monospaced alphabet is taken from Latin Modern
+ Mono Light Condensed (http://www.gust.org.pl/projects/e-foundry/latin-modern).
+
+Note that the members of all the mentioned alphabets, except
+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.
+
+Recent changes (ver. 1.605 --> ver. 1.632) comprised
+mainly interline settings in OTF tables (HHEA and
+OS/2) and the correction of the unicode slots assigned to
+contour integrals (glyphs `clockwise contour
+integral', u+2232, and `anticlockwise contour
+integral', u+2233, used to have swapped slots).
+
+ * * *
+
+The TeX Gyre Math 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.
