+
+The Talos fonts were bitmap fonts created especially for
+a custom installation in a VMS machine bought in the eighties
+by the Department of Mathematics of the University of Crete, Greece.
+This was definitely the first TeX installation in a Greek University
+and most probably the first TeX installation that supported the Greek
+(monotonic) language.
+
+The VMS server, with hostname ``Talos'', after the name of the Cretan mythical
+robot, made by Hephaestus to protect Europa at the request of Zeus,
+was connected with dummy terminals to the professors' offices. There was no
+previewer other than printing the postscript file.
+The server was in use in the department of Mathematics until \textsc{1998}
+when it suffered a severe crash and was abandoned. In that machine,
+the ``Talos'' (Τάλως in Greek), many professor notes, student thesis and
+dissertations were written
+with its special Greek font that we now revive. The characters were redrawn
+by some printouts that I had carefully saved for this purpose, when I was
+employed in the late nineties in the department. I am positive that
+many colleagues still have printouts from that era and the Talos server.
+
+The Latin characters (including mathematics) were cmr and in this release
+are drawn from NewComputerModern Book weight. However, the Greek part
+is of unknown origin. The design is very interesting especially the italic one.
+The Italic capitals use what we know as ``mathcal'' for the characters
+that are common with Latin and Greek but have matching custom designs
+for non common ones.
+
+The Italic Greek characters will soon find their way into NewComputerModern Math fonts as
+a Greek calligraphic.
