+############          A BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE FONT          ############
+###########################################################################
+
+TeX Gyre Pagella Math is a math companion for the TeX Gyre Pagella family
+of fonts (see http://www.gust.org.pl/projects/e-foundry/tex-gyre/) in
+OpenType format.
+
+The math OTF fonts should contain a special table, MATH, described in the 
+confidential Microsoft document "The MATH table and OpenType Features 
+for Math Processing". Moreover, they should contain a broad collection
+of special characters (see "Draft Unicode Technical Report #25.
+UNICODE SUPPORT FOR MATHEMATICS" by Barbara Beeton, Asmus Freytag,
+and Murray Sargent III). In particular, math OTF fonts are expected
+to contain the following scripts: a basic serif font (regular, bold, 
+italic and bold italic), a calligraphic font (regular and bold), 
+a double-struck font, a fraktur font (regular and bold), a sansserif 
+font (regular, bold, oblique and regular oblique), and a monospace font.
+
+The basic script is, obviously, TeX Gyre Pagella. Greek symbols
+were taken from the Math Pazo font by Diego Puga with the kind
+permission from the author to use his work with the GFL licence.
+The math extension was programmed from scratch.
+
+Other scripts, however, are borrowed from other fonts (the current
+selection, however, may be subject to change):
+
+  * the calligraphic alphabet was taken from the Odstemplik font
+    (http://www.dafont.com/odstemplik.font) with the kind permission
+    from the author to use his font with the GFL licence;
+
+  * the double struck script is excerpted from Alan Jeffrey's bbold font
+    (http://www.tug.org/texlive/Contents/live/texmf-dist/doc/latex/bbold/bbold.pdf)
+
+  * the fraktur script is excerpted from the renowned Euler family
+    (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AMS_Euler);
+
+  * the sans serif alphabets are excerpted from another renowned font,
+    DejaVu Sans (the DejaVu fonts are a font family based
+    on the Bitstream Vera Fonts, released under a free license,
+    http://dejavu-fonts.org/wiki/Main_Page);
+
+  * and finally, the monospace alphabet is taken from Latin Modern
+    Mono Light Condensed (http://www.gust.org.pl/projects/e-foundry/latin-modern).
+
+To produce the font, MetaType1 and the FontForge library were used:
+the Type1 PostScript font containing all relevant characters was
+generated with the MetaType1 engine, and the result was converted
+into the OTF format with all the neccesary data structures by
+a Python script employing the FontForge library.
+
+The TeX Gyre Math Project was launched and is supported by
+TeX USERS GROUPS (CS TUG, DANTE eV, GUST, NTG, TUG India, TUG, UK TUG).
+Hearty thanks to the representatives of these groups and also
+to all people who helped with their work, comments, ideas,
+remarks, bug reports, objections, hints, consolations, etc.
