-This is release 1.0.7pre22 of Valek Filippov's improved versions of the URW
-type 1 font collection, repackaged for distribution with Ghostscript.
+This directory contains a subset of the URW PostScript fonts required by PDF
+viewers.
-Cyrillized free URW fonts.
+These are the fonts published by URW and now maintained on CTAN, not the
+modified fonts shipped with Ghostscript.
-These fonts were made from the free URW fonts distributed with ghostcript.
-There are NO changes in the latin part of them (I hope).
-Cyrillic glyphs were added by copying suitable latin ones
-and painting oulines of unique cyrillic glyphs in same style as the others.
-For all modification pfaedit was used.
-The license for result is (of course) same as for original fonts,
-i.e. GPL with an exception that you can put these fonts in your own non-GPLed
-documents. (Looks like LGPL from my point of view =).
+For the rest of the URW PostScript fonts and some additional information, see
+http://www.ctan.org/tex-archive/fonts/urw/base35
-The "sources" of these fonts in the native pfaedit format are available
-at ftp://ftp.gnome.ru/fonts/sources
+The files were renamed from the "Karl-Berry scheme" to the original URW scheme
+expected by the poppler library. For a list of font name mappings, see
+http://www.tug.org/fontname/html/URW-fonts.html
-The great font editor pfaedit is available at http://pfaedit.sf.net.
-That page also includes some links to fonts created by
-George Williams -- the author of pfaedit.
-
-Acknowledgements:
-I would like to thank George Williams, the pfaedit's author and developer.
-He is the most bug-reporter/feature-requester friendly developer
-I ever saw in my not so short life. At some moment in the future
-I must write a book about him: "George Williams and my best experience
-in bug-reporting." George also greatly helped me bug-hunting these fonts,
-explained to me some very important things about fonts and font design,
-quickly adopted pfaedit to my needs (or pointed me to The Right Place in
-documentation where I found better way of doing things).
-
-I would like to thank Alexey Novodvorsky (aka AEN), who
-pointed me to pfaedit and George Williams' fonts, explained
-The Task to me. He is also one of the main participators in the
-development of Sysiphus -- free repository of free software.
-I didn't loose my time for compiling/installing and supporting
-my linux box coz I used the result of Sysiphus developers' works.
-
-I would like to thank Sergey Vlasov, who tested these fonts and reported
-about bugs. Also he help me to make some bug-reports to George about
-pfaedit bugs.
-
-I would like Dmitry 40in, who did big QA for some font outlines, drawn some glyphs,
-and explain some The Truths for me.
-
-I would like to thank Vlad Harchev (aka hvv), who
-proofread this text for me.
-
-Also I have to thank RMS for GPL and URW for releasing the fonts
-under it.
-
-Thank you very much!
