Note that it is not my aim to exactly reproduce the outlines of +the original Adobe fonts. The SC and OsF in the FPL Fonts were designed +with the glyphs from URW Palladio L as starting point. For some glyphs +(eg 'o') I got the best result by scaling and boldening. For others (eg +'h') shifting selected portions of the character gave more satisfying +results. All this was done using the free font editor FontForge +<URL:http://fontforge.sf.net>. The kerning data in these fonts comes +from Walter Schmidt's improved Palatino metrics. + + +History +------- + +Version 1.002 2005-02-13 + * no div operator (compatibility problems) + +Version 1.001 2005-02-05 + * fixed lcaron in SC font + * no references (compatibility problems) + * no UniqueID + * OtherSubrs from URW fonts + +Version 1.000 2004-08-02 + First official release + + +Deficiencies +------------ + +On the character level only automatic hinting as done by FontForge has +been applied to the SC and OsF glyphs. + + +Usage with LaTeX +---------------- + +As the FPL Fonts have the same metrics as their Adobe counterparts, the +improved Palatino metrics by Walter Schmidt can be used. They are part +of PSNFSS 9.2, which can be found on CTAN:macros/latex/required/psnfss/. +Therefore, it is best to update your TeX distribution to a version which +provides PSNFSS 9.2. The usage with LaTeX is documented in psnfss2e.pdf. +Please follow the installation instruction from PSNFSS, if you want to +upgrade PSNFSS only. + + +License +------- + +Copyright (URW)++,Copyright 1999 by (URW)++ Design & Development +Copyright 2004, 2005 Ralf Stubner + +See the file COPYING (GNU General Public License) for license +conditions.
