+OpenType Unicode fonts for Scientific, Technical, and Mathematical texts
+
+## Description
+
+The Scientific and Technical Information eXchange (STIX) fonts are
+intended to satisfy the demanding needs of authors, publishers,
+printers, and others working in the scientific, medical, and technical
+fields. They combine a comprehensive Unicode-based collection of
+mathematical symbols and alphabets with a set of text faces suitable
+for professional publishing. The fonts are available royalty-free
+under the SIL Open Font License.
+
+See the [release notes](STIX_2.0.0_release_notes.txt) for a more
+detailed introduction to this version of the fonts.
+
+## Type 1 support
+
+The STIX Two fonts are a set of OpenType fonts and are meant to be
+used in that format. For the benefit of LaTeX users who are currently
+unable to use XeTeX or LuaTeX, we have also provided a set of TFM, VF,
+and Type 1 files in the CTAN package stix2-type1. Please note that
+while development of the OpenType fonts is ongoing, no further updates
+to the Type 1 versions are planned.

+ STIX Font Release Documentation
+ OpenType/WOFF/WOFF2
+
+ Version 2.0.0
+
+ 1 December 2016
+ Updated 13 April 2018
+
+INTRODUCTION
+
+The Scientific and Technical Information eXchange (STIX) fonts are
+intended to satisfy the demanding needs of authors, publishers,
+printers, and others working in the scientific, medical, and technical
+fields. They combine a comprehensive Unicode-based collection of
+mathematical symbols and alphabets with a set of text faces suitable
+for professional publishing. The fonts are available royalty-free
+under the SIL Open Font License.
+
+Version 2.0.0 of the STIX fonts, now known as "STIX Two", is a
+thorough revision undertaken by the renowned type house Tiro
+Typeworks. The STIX Two fonts consist of four text fonts (Regular,
+Italic, Bold, and Bold Italic) and one Math font. Together, they
+provide a uniform set of fonts that can be used throughout the
+production process, whether that be a traditional print-only process,
+an entirely electronic one, or a combination of the two.
+
+The STIX project began through the joint efforts of American
+Mathematical Society (AMS), American Institute of Physics (AIP),
+American Physical Society (APS), American Chemical Society (ACS),
+Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers (IEEE), and Elsevier.
+These companies are collectively known as the STI Pub companies.
+
+A FRESH TAKE ON TIMES ROMAN
+
+The original version of STIX was based on Times Roman, which has now
+been updated for the digital age.
+
+As is well known, Times Roman was originally intended for printing the
+London Times. What is not generally appreciated is the fact that the
+Times was a very atypically produced newspaper: It was printed on very
+high quality paper run through presses that operated more slowly than
+most newspaper presses. This allowed for the design of a typeface
+that could benefit from this level of printing: serifs could be very
+fine (much finer than other newspaper typefaces) and small counters
+(enclosed areas) such as in the lowercase e could be much smaller than
+in other newspaper typefaces. Another anomaly is that the bold font
+for Times Roman is, in many respects, strikingly dissimilar to the
+roman font.
+
+Tiro Typeworks explain their approach to updating the Times Roman
+basis of STIX as follows:
+
+ "Our principal goal in approaching STIX Two was to address several
+ inherent deficiencies in the Times New Roman model as well as
+ expand the typographic features. This process necessarily
+ involved diverging somewhat from Times, given that many features
+ of that typeface are either incompatible with current printing
+ methods and electronic reading environments, and some others too
+ esoteric to repeat. That said, the essential 'Times-ness'
+ remains, we believe, and such changes won't distract readers and
+ users in any negative way.
+
+ "At the core of Times' problems was inappropriate digitization,
+ using an optical size model too large to be scaled down to text
+ sizes, with compensations appropriate to its original purpose and
+ printing technique, but not for 21st century conditions. We have
+ also re-thought somewhat overall proportions and spacing, with
+ changes made in varying degrees to both the Roman and the Italic
+ (and we have begun to harmonize the Bold, which has always been a
+ major shortcoming with Times New Roman)."
+
+WHAT IS NEW IN THIS RELEASE?
+
+In addition to the overall visual redesign, STIX Two incorporates a
+number of significant improvements and additions. Special attention
+has been given to implementing accepted best practices for OpenType
+fonts, such as the use of font features to access variant glyph shapes
+that were previously only available via the Unicode Private Use Areas.
+
+The letterspacing and kerning of the text fonts have been
+significantly improved.
+
+True small capital variants (Latin, Cyrillic, and Greek), accessible
+via the OpenType font feature smcp, have been added for all text
+fonts.
+
+Text (lowercase or oldstyle) numerals, available via the font features
+pnum and onum, have been added, in addition to natural-spacing
+figures.
+
+Alphabetic superscripts and numeric sub- and superscripts, accessible
+via the subs and sups font features, have been added.
+
+Fractions are available via the frac feature, as well as numerators
+(numr) and denominators (dnom).
+
+The OpenType MATH table has been completely rewritten and extended.
+
+Additions have been made to these Unicode blocks:
+ Latin-1 Supplement U+0080 - U+00FF
+ Latin Extended-A U+0100 - U+017F
+ Latin Extended Additional U+0180 - U+024F
+ Cyrillic U+0400 - U+04FF
+ Greek and Coptic U+0370 - U+03FF
+ IPA blocks U+0250 - U+02AF
+
+Full details of included glyphs and supported font features are
+available in the included spreadsheet.
+
+BACKWARDS COMPATIBILITY
+
+Because of the scope of the changes, especially to the text fonts,
+STIX Two is not a drop-in replacement for earlier versions. While we
+understand and sympathize with the difficulties caused by the
+incompatibilities we have introduced, we nevertheless felt they were
+necessary to address some of the shortcomings of earlier versions of
+the fonts and to position us to respond to the needs of modern
+publishing.
+
+Earlier versions of the STIX fonts are deprecated and no longer
+supported. We urge all users of the STIX fonts to upgrade to the new
+versions as soon as possible.
+
+To enable the new and old versions of the fonts to coexist during the
+transition phase, the fonts have been renamed as follows:
+
+ STIX 1.1.0 STIX 2.0.0
+
+ STIX-Regular STIX Two Text
+ STIX-Italic STIX Two Text Italic
+ STIX-Bold STIX Two Text Bold
+ STIX-BoldItalic STIX Two Text Bold Italic
+
+ STIX Math Regular STIX Two Math
+
+The four text fonts contain glyphs from Unicode text blocks only. For
+example, all characters from the range U+2190 to U+3063 and U+E000 to
+U+E368 and all plane 1 characters have been removed from the text
+fonts and are now found only in STIX Two Math. Whenever possible,
+characters have been removed from the Private Use Area (U+E000-U+F8FF)
+and made available via font features instead.
+
+The STIX-General packaging of the fonts is no longer supported.
+
+WHAT IS PROVIDED IN THIS RELEASE?

+The font is distributed under the "SIL Open Font License, Version
+1.1", a copy of which is included in the License folder.
+
+Support for 8-bit, DVI-based TeX in the form of TFM files and Type 1
+fonts is available separately (see below).
+
+We also hope to provide a version of the WOFF fonts broken down into
+smaller, more web-download-friendly chunks.
+
+FONT IMPLEMENTATION DECISIONS
+
+The STIX fonts do not contain fixed-width or sans serif text faces.
+
+The sans serif, fraktur, script, etc., alphabets in Plane 1
+(U+1D400-U+1D4FF) are intended to be used only as technical symbols.
+
+These fonts are designed to support left-to-right typesetting in
+Latin-based scripts, with additional support for Greek and Cyrillic
+text. Extensions to support other writing directions have been
+considered, but are currently deemed to be outside the scope of the
+STIX project.
+
+The font contains:
+
+1. Kerning pairs for characters suitable for use with sizes 8pt
+ through 12pt.
+
+2. Standard ligature support for those ligatures included in the font.
+
+NOTE TO TEX USERS
+
+If you use XeTeX or LuaTeX, the OTF files are all you need. The fonts
+have been tested with both XeTeX and luaTeX with good results. For
+best results, XeTeX users will want to upgrade to the latest
+development version from
+
+ http://xetex.sourceforge.net/
+
+This version fixes a number of bugs that are present in the version
+shipped with TeX Live 2016. Our thanks go out to Jonathan Kew and
+Khaled Hosny for their generous help in identifying and fixing these
+bugs. LaTeX users should also make sure they have the latest version
+of the amsmath package available on CTAN.
+
+There are some known issues with kerning of second-order subscripts
+that we hope to address in a future release.
+
+For the convenience of users who are restricted to pdfTeX or DVI-based
+TeX, a separate implementation set of Type 1 PostScript fonts, TFM
+files, and virtual fonts is available from
+
+ https://github.com/stipub/stixfonts/tree/master/STIXv2.0.0/Fonts/Type1
+
+Please note that although development work on the OpenType fonts is
+ongoing, no further updates are planned to the Type 1 fonts.
+
+FEEDBACK
+
+Please direct any questions or general comments to the STIX Fonts
+project. Bug reports and technical support issues should be reported
+through https://github.com/stipub/stixfonts.
