+Baskervaldx
+----------
+
+Baskervaldx is a Baskerville-like font package consisting of:
+
+1. the Baskervaldx fonts (OpenType and PostScript Type 1) by Michael Sharpe, based on
+the BaskervalADF Std fonts developed by Hirwen Harendel, Arkandis Digital Foundry (ADF);
+the Baskervaldx fonts are released under the GPL terms set out in the files COPYING and
+NOTICE.txt;
+
+2. (La)TeX support by Michael Sharpe released under the LaTeX Project Public License. See
+http://www.ctan.org/license/lppl1.3
+for the details of that license.
+
+Current version: 1.0, 2014/04/02
+
+
+Changes from BaskervaldADF Std
+------------------------------
+0. Regular and bold weights only.
+1. Roman xheights increased, ascenders decreased.
+2. Adjusted most symbols used in mathematical typesetting, as the originals do not seem
+to have been designed to accommodate the needs of TeX.
+3. Added fixed width lining and oldstyle figures, plus proportional oldstyle figures in
+each of the four styles.
+4. Adjusted metrics and shapes of ligatures for more consistent spacing.
+5. Adjusted metrics and kerning of most uppercase letters so they are less packed.
+6. Added small caps in all four styles.
+7. Added many accented glyphs so that the only characters missing in T1 encoding are Eng and eng.
