+Arundina fonts [0] were created under SIPA's initiation, aiming at Bitstream
+Vera [1] / Dejavu [2] compatibility. They were then further modified by TLWG
+for certain aspects:
+
+ * Latin glyph size compatiblity. That is, Latin glyphs should have equal
+ size with those from Western fonts at the same point size, so that it
+ would not require users to scale fonts when using them together in the
+ same documents.
+
+ * OpenType conformance. We attempt to fullfill OpenType requirements for
+ Thai fonts[3], according to our drafted spec [4]. However, as many
+ applications, including MacOS before Leopard and Adobe CS2, do not support
+ the Thai-specific features well, the 'liga' GSUB hack developed by the
+ original author is still retained for the time being.
+
+We use FontForge as development tool. You need it to generate fonts from the
+downloaded source.
