The AlgolRevived Font Package
--------------------------

AlgolRevived is a geometric serifed typeface reviving the Algol font designed by Adrian Frutiger in 1963 for typesetting the code portions of a manual on ALGOL. Two weights are provided: regular and medium, with both upright and slanted versions. Though the font is designed for typesetting code, it is not monospaced, and in my opinion, it doesnt look too bad if you have a fondness for text with a typewritten appearance with few typeset frills like f-ligatures, small caps and old-style figures.

The fonts are provided in OpenType and PostScript formats,are released under SIL's OFL, details of which are spelled out in the file OFL.txt accompanying the package.

Current version: 1.03 2019-05-24

Changes in version 1.03
Changed \let\zal@typewriter\@empty to \global\let\zal@typewriter\@empty in all fd files to prevent later problems if the fd file is called from within a group. (Thanks to Frank Mittelbach.)

Changes in version 1.02
1. Documentation correction.
2. Corrected fd files. (Thanks to Frank Mittelbach for spotting the problem.)

Changes in version 1.01
1. Added overlooked typewriter support (.sty and .fd files) for LaTeX.
2. Small documentation changes.

It is a pleasure to record my gratitude to Chuck Bigelow who provided a detailed critique of an earlier version of these fonts, which was most helpful in refining the glyph shapes and spacing.
