The conversion to Type 1 +necessarily introduces changes in the implementation of the shapes and +the metrics. No changes to the shapes or advance widths have been made +by humans, but a few human-made changes are in the kerning tables for +the regular and italic; see below. + +The Gentium Plus PS fonts incorporate the name "Gentium" by permission +of SIL given to the TeX Users Group (TUG). These fonts are +semi-officially released and maintained under the auspices of TUG. For +internal development changes, see the file ChangeLog. + +Each of the SIL fonts also has its own FONTLOG.txt. Please consult +these FONTLOGs in their separate font project (Gentium*) subfolders here +for a full record of changes, and for more information on the individual +font projects. + +The home page for the Gentium Plus PS fonts and TeX support package: +http://tug.org/gentium + + +2 July 2013 (TeX development team, see below) Gentium Plus PS version 1.0 +- First public release. + + +Basic information +---------------- +The Type 1 regular and italic are derived from Gentium Plus, +while the Type 1 bold and bold italic are derived from Gentium Basic. + +There are no intentional changes in the bold and bold italic beyond +those made by the automatic conversion to Type 1. + +These are the changes in the regular and italic; we hope they will be +incorporated in the original fonts in due time. + +- Some extra kerning pairs were added between accents and capital + Greek letters. + +- The advance width of dcaron and lcaron is much smaller than in the + original fonts. This improves the typesetting of Czech and Slovak. + +- There are additional kerning pairs for accented Latin letters, the + Czech/Slovak letters dcaron and lcaron, and for small caps. The + original fonts have no such kerning pairs. Manual corrections are + still needed in some cases, e.g., initial cap followed by small cap. + +- There was a positive kern between the letters D and V in the regular + style of Gentium Plus. The derived font has a negative kern. + +The conversion process, including these changes, is implemented in the +Python and FontForge scripts included in the packages, e.g., ff-gentium.pe. + + +Acknowledgements +---------------- +(Here is where contributors can be acknowledged.
