+OCR-B outline fonts (Type1 and OpenType), 6 Jan 2010
+Z. Wagner, http://icebearsoft.euweb.cz
+
+This package contains Type1 and OpenType versions of OCR-B fonts.
+The METAFONT sources were developed by:
+
+ Norbert Schwarz
+ Ruhr-Universitaet Bochum
+ Rechenzentrum
+ Postfach 10 21 48
+ D-4630 Bochum 1
+ West Germany
+
+ EARN: P920021@DBORUB01
+
+ Norbert/Schwarz/ruhr-uni-bochum/de
+
+The license of the outline fonts is the same as for the original fonts,
+i.e. you may freely use, modify, and/or distribute any of these files,
+without limitation.
+
+It is necesary to stress that TeX needs metric files in addition to the
+Type1 files. The metric files are not included in this package. The PFB
+files will therefore be useless without the original OCR-B package.
+
+The METAFONT sources were first processed by mftrace using potrace
+as a vectorizer. A few years later the resulting Type1 files were
+manually converted to OpenType by fontforge. The SFD files are also
+distributed.
+
+The conversion was done just automatically, the results were not carefully
+examined. The result is decent if used in design size. The fonts might
+be unusable in larger sizes.
+
+It might be useful to combine all OTF files into a single font with several
+optical sizes.
