+This package includes TeX support files for Gentium.
+
+FONT:
+====
+
+See:
+- http://scripts.sil.org/Gentium
+- http://scripts.sil.org/Gentium_basic
+
+Gentium Basic is there only to supplement Gentium which has no bold variant.
+It might be removed (or split into a separate package & completed)
+when bold & bold italic Gentium is released.
+
+MACROS:
+======
+
+At the moment this package only provides ConTeXt macros,
+but TeX or LaTeX contributions (.fd files) are welcome
+and will be included in the package if anyone sends them.
+
+ENCODINGS:
+=========
