+ Usage of GNU FreeFont
+
+Language scripts and faces
+==========================
+
+There are three faces (serif, sans-serif, and monospace), and four styles
+(regular, bold, cursive/italic, and bold cursive/italic) for each face.
+There is one font file per face/style combination: 12 files in total.
+
+The letters for various languages, as well as specialized symbols, exist
+among the various font files, but they are not uniformly populated.
+All the fonts have complete support for Latin, Cyrillic, and Greek, as
+well as most of the extensions for those scripts.
+
+At this time, serif regular has by far the largest number of letters, and
+supports the largest number of writing scripts. However there are writing
+scripts supported by the sans-serif but not by serif.
+
+For an overview of which scripts and sets of symbols are supported by
+which face, see the FreeFont 'coverage' web page.
+
+Font features
+=============
+
+FreeFont has numerous font "features" that perform alterations to the basic
+letters of the font, replacing them with other letters, or positioning them
+with respect to other letters.
+
+Many features are activated automatically, but in some environments, they
+present some user control. This documents those features with user control.
+
+Language-specific features
+==========================
+
+Some OpenType font features are activated only when the text is specified to
+be of a certain language.
+
+This is done in HTML by enclosing the text with a tag whose 'lang' attribute
+is set to the appropriate ISO 632.2 language code. In a word processor,
+any block of text can be given a language setting.
+
+Latin
+-----
+Catalan ligature improving l·l
+Dutch ligatures for ij, IJ
+Sami localized form for letter Eng
+Turkish overrides ligatures fi ffi of Latin
+
+Cyrillic
+--------
+Ukrainian ligature for double i-diaresis
+Serbian/Macedonian localized letters be, and more in italic
+Bulgarian style set for modern glyphs
+
+Hebrew
+------
+Yiddish raised vowels under yo
+
+Devanagari
+----------
+Sanskrit much larger set of ligatures
+
+Hindi, Marathi better spacing of Western punctuation marks
+
+Indic languages
+---------------
+
+The 'danda' character is encoded in Unicode only in the Devanagari range.
+When writing in scripts of other Indic languages, this same character is to
+be used. But the shapes and line thicknesses of glyphs vary slightly from
+one script to another, so the same glyph for 'danda' may not fit all scripts.
+
+By specifying the language of the text, an appropriate glyph for 'danda'
+will be obtained.
+
+Style sets
+==========
+
+These replacements are activated by specifying a "Style Set".
+These features are accessible only from typesetting software.
+
+Cyrillic Bulgarian modern (ss01)
+
+Devanagari Bombay (ss02), Calcutta (ss03), Nepali (ss04)
+
+Discretionary features
+======================
+These features are accessible only from typesetting software.
+Typically the user must specifically request them.
+
+Unless otherwise noted, these are available only in FreeSerif.
+
+Ligatures and substitutions
+---------------------------
+
+Arabic, Armenian, Hebrew, German, Dutch
+
+Small captials
+--------------
+
+A limited set of specially drawn small capital letters in Latin.
+
+Superscript and subscript
+-------------------------
+
+Transform a limited set of characters--mostly Latin letters and numerals--
+to versions well-sized and positioned as superscript or subscript.
+
+Numeral styles
+--------------
+
+The default numerals of FreeSerif are mono-spaced and of even height.
+It also features proportionally-spaced numerals, and "old-style" numerals--
+those which vary in height and sometimes go beneath the baseline.
+These can be had at discretion.
+
+Diagonal fractions
+------------------
+
+A limited set of diagonal fraction substitutions are available at discretion.
+The set is more than what is encoded in Unicode.
+They work with the ASCII slash or the mathematical slash U+2215.
+The transform a sequence "number-slash-number" to a diagonal form.
+
+Zero
+----
+
+A slashed form of the numeral zero is available at discretion.
+Available in all faces.
+
+Alternative characters
+======================
+
+FreeSerif has some listings of alternatives for specific characters.
+Again this is use primarily in specialized typesetting software.
+
+Greek, Latin
+
+Use in LaTeX
+============
+It is possible to use Unicode fonts in recent LaTeX implementations, but in
+ LuaTeX http://www.luatex.org/ and
+ XeTeX http://tug.org/xetex/
+it is particularly easy to use Unicode text, and to enable font features.
+Recent versions of these systems use the 'fontspec' package to choose fonts
+and features.
+
+A very simple document might contain the lines
