The +design is intended to be highly readable, reasonably compact, and visually +attractive. Gentium has won a "Certificate of Excellence in Typeface +Design" in two major international typeface design competitions: +bukva:raz! (2001), TDC2003 (2003). + +The Gentium Plus font family is based on the original design. It currently +comes with regular and italic face only, although additional weights are in +development. + +The goal for this product is to provide a single Unicode-based font family +that contains a comprehensive inventory of glyphs needed for almost any +Roman- or Cyrillic-based writing system, whether used for phonetic or +orthographic needs, and provide a matching Greek face. In addition, there +is provision for other characters and symbols useful to linguists. This +font makes use of state-of-the-art font technologies to support complex +typographic issues, such as the need to position arbitrary combinations +of base glyphs and diacritics optimally. + +Two fonts from this typeface family are included in this release: + + * Gentium Plus Regular + * Gentium Plus Italic + +Work is ongoing to provide bold and bold-italic weights, as well as a +complete book-weight family. + +For detailed documentation see the contents of the 'documentation' folder. + + +A Note Regarding the Open Font License and TypeTuner +---------------------------------------------------- + +The OFL prohibits the use of Reserved Font Names "Gentium" and "SIL" in +the name of any font that is derived from the Original Version of Gentium +Plus. However, SIL International (the Copyright Holder) grants through +this separate written agreement the right to use the Reserved Font Names +in any Modified Version of this font created by using TypeTuner as long +as the feature information contained in the Original Version is used, +unmodified, as the source for TypeTuner feature information, and +"Gentium Plus" is not the resulting font family name. + +TypeTuner-produced fonts created in this manner are still bound by the +terms of the OFL. Specifically, the use of Reserved Font Names is +prohibited when making derivatives of a TypeTuner-produced font. Anyone +making a derivative of a TypeTuner font will need to find a different +name. For example a TypeTuner-produced font may be named +"Gentium Plus Literacy SomeFarAwayPlace" but a derivative of that font made +with other tools would not be allowed to use the "Gentium" and "SIL" +Reserved Font Names and would have to be named something like "Nations Serif". + + +ChangeLog +--------- +(This should list both major and minor changes, most recent first.) + +05 Oct 2011 (SIL TypeTuner) Tuned version of Gentium Plus version 1.508 +- Tuned and delivered by SIL TypeTuner +(http://scripts.sil.org/ttw/fonts2go.cgi). +- See included xml file for details of feature changes. + +12 September 2011 (SIL NRSI team) Gentium Plus version 1.508 +- Removed the VDMX table +- Changed version number (using ttfsetver) + +25 Aug 2011 (SIL NRSI team) Gentium Plus version 1.506 +- Double-encoded the SIL PUA characters which were added to Unicode 5.2 and 6.0 + (using ttfremap) +- Corrected problem with coverage tables (using ttfsortcover) +- Changed version number (using ttfsetver) +- Added device metric tables +- Added an empty dsig table + +16 Nov 2010 (SIL NRSI team) Gentium Plus version 1.504 +- Added codepage bits for 1251 (Cyrillic), 1257 (Windows Baltic), 1258 + (Vietnamese) + +1 Nov 2010 (SIL NRSI team) Gentium Plus version 1.502 +- Regular and Italic weights only +- New OpenType and Graphite support +- Converted kerning to OpenType (but not Graphite) +- New extended Cyrillic script support, inc.

Some has been done - with +good results - but is not yet complete enough. + + +Information for Developers/Contributors +--------------------------------------- + +The release of Gentium Plus version 1.502 (and any subsequent versions) under +the OFL license provides a means for people to modify the fonts to meet their +needs and contribute to the project. For information on what you're allowed to +change or modify, consult the OFL and OFL-FAQ. + +Anyone can make their own modified version of Gentium Plus (using a different +name), but SIL International will continue to maintain and develop the +canonical version of the Gentium Plus fonts. As the package maintainer, we +welcome contributions. Here are some things to keep in mind: + +Format: We are open to contributions in various formats, but if you want to +maximise the chances of us including your work, please make it available to +us (via email or a URL) as either a FontLab database (preferred) or a +PostScript Type 1 (or OT-CFF) font. + +Source files: The primary source files for the fonts are the fonts themselves. +They contain all the important data in the fonts and can be studied and +modified using open font tools such as FontForge and TTX. The developer +release contains additional source files that might be useful. See the file +source/SOURCES.txt in that release archive for further information. + +Copyright attribution: If you submit something for inclusion in the main +Gentium Plus fonts, we will ask you to affirm that it is your original work, +and ask you to assign the copyright of your work to SIL International. This +is to ensure that future releases can be made under improved versions of the +OFL without needing to track you down for further permission. This follows +the same principle used by the FSF. Keep in mind that we are a +not-for-profit organization committed to free/libre and open source +software, and that any contributions incorporated in the fonts will always +be available under the OFL or a similar license. + +Quality: Because we want to be able to guarantee a high level of quality for +the primary Gentium Plus fonts, we will review submissions carefully. Please +don't be discouraged if we do not include a submission for this reason, or +ask you to make specific revisions. + +Types of contributions: If you wish to make a contribution - a set of +additional glyphs, scripts, code, etc. - please contact us before you do any +work to see if it is a contribution we currently need. Every addition adds +to the complexity of the project and needs to be carefully planned. This +also avoids two people working on the same type of addition at the same time. + +Linux packages: Please contact the upstream maintainer of the various +packages - nicolas_spalinger@sil.org - if you want to help package or +maintain a package. + +When submissions will be included: We plan to revise the fonts when major +updates are needed (eg new versions of Unicode). If you wish to make +submissions, contact us on the timing. + + +Acknowledgements +---------------- +(Here is where contributors can be acknowledged.

Documentation for the fonts is available on Gentium website +(http://scripts.sil.org/Gentium), including details on what ranges are +supported. + +Gentium Plus is released under the SIL Open Font License. + +See the OFL and OFL-FAQ for details of the SIL Open Font License. +See the FONTLOG for information on this and previous releases. +See the GENTIUM-FAQ for answers to common questions about the Gentium fonts +See the website (http://scripts.sil.org/Gentium) for further documentation. +See the SIL Unicode Roman FAQ (http://scripts.sil.org/ComplexRomanFontFAQ) +for frequently asked questions and their answers regarding SIL's Roman fonts. + +TYPETUNER +05 Oct 2011 +========= + +This package contains a TypeTuned version of the Gentium Plus font. + +The TypeTuner settings file used to generate the enclosed font +is included in the package as GentiumPlus-feat_set_tuned.xml. +By inspecting this file with a text editor you can determine +which alternate behaviors have been enabled. + + +TIPS +==== + +As this font is distributed at no cost, we are unable to provide a +commercial level of personal technical support. The font has, however, +been through some testing on various platforms to be sure it works in most +situations. In particular, it has been tested and shown to work on Windows +XP, Windows Vista and Windows 7. Graphite capabilities have been tested +on Graphite-supported platforms. + +If you do find a problem, please do report it to fonts@sil.org. +We can't guarantee any direct response, but will try to fix reported bugs in +future versions. Make sure you read through the +SIL Unicode Roman FAQ (http://scripts.sil.org/ComplexRomanFontFAQ). + +Many problems can be solved, or at least explained, through an understanding +of the encoding and use of the fonts. Here are some basic hints: + +Encoding: +The fonts are encoded according to Unicode, so your application must support +Unicode text in order to access letters other than the standard alphabet. +Most Windows applications provide basic Unicode support. You will, however, +need some way of entering Unicode text into your document. + +Keyboarding: +This font does not include any keyboarding helps or utilities. It uses the +built-in keyboards of the operating system. You will need to install the +appropriate keyboard and input method for the characters of the language you +wish to use. If you want to enter characters that are not supported by any +system keyboard, the Keyman program (www.tavultesoft.com) can be helpful +on Windows systems. Also available for Windows is MSKLC +(http://www.microsoft.com/globaldev/tools/msklc.mspx). +For Linux systems such as Ubuntu, KMFL (http://kmfl.sourceforge.net/) +is available. Ukelele (http://scripts.sil.org/ukelele) is available for +Mac OS X versions 10.2 and later. + +For other platforms, KMFL (http://kmfl.sourceforge.net/), +XKB (http://www.x.org/wiki/XKB) or Ukelele (http://scripts.sil.org/ukelele) +can be helpful. + +If you want to enter characters that are not supported by any system +keyboard, and to access the full Unicode range, we suggest you use +gucharmap, kcharselect on Ubuntu or similar software. + +Another method of entering some symbols is provided by a few applications such +as Adobe InDesign or OpenOffice.org. They can display a glyph palette or input +dialog that shows all the glyphs (symbols) in a font and allow you to enter +them by clicking on the glyph you want. + +Rendering: +This font is designed to work with Graphite or Opentype advanced font +technologies. To take advantage of the advanced typographic +capabilities of this font, you must be using applications that provide an +adequate level of support for Graphite or OpenType. See "Applications +that provide an adequate level of support for SIL Unicode Roman fonts" +(http://scripts.sil.org/Complex_AdLvSup). + + +CONTACT +======== +For more information please visit the Gentium page on SIL International's +Computers and Writing systems website: +http://scripts.sil.org/Gentium + +Or send an email to gentium@sil.org + diff --git a/Master/texmf-dist/doc/fonts/gentium-tug/GentiumPlusCompact/feat_set_tuned.xml b/Master/texmf-dist/doc/fonts/gentium-tug/GentiumPlusCompact/feat_set_tuned.xml new file mode 100644 index 00000000000..f06594eb954 --- /dev/null +++ b/Master/texmf-dist/doc/fonts/gentium-tug/GentiumPlusCompact/feat_set_tuned.xml @@ -0,0 +1,5 @@ +<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> +<!DOCTYPE features_set SYSTEM "feat_set.dtd"> +<features_set version="1.0"> + <feature name="Line spacing" value="Tight"/> +</features_set> |
