+The Gentium Plus PS fonts are Type 1 versions of the TrueType Gentium
+fonts released by SIL International. The conversion to Type 1
+necessarily introduces changes in the implementation of the shapes and
+the metrics. No changes to the shapes or advance widths have been made
+by humans, but a few human-made changes are in the kerning tables for
+the regular and italic; see below.
+
+The Gentium Plus PS fonts incorporate the name "Gentium" by permission
+of SIL given to the TeX Users Group (TUG). These fonts are
+semi-officially released and maintained under the auspices of TUG. For
+internal development changes, see the file ChangeLog.
+
+Each of the SIL fonts also has its own FONTLOG.txt. Please consult
+these FONTLOGs in their separate font project (Gentium*) subfolders here
+for a full record of changes, and for more information on the individual
+font projects.

+
+
+2 July 2013 (TeX development team, see below) Gentium Plus PS version 1.0
+- First public release.
+
+
+Basic information
+----------------
+The Type 1 regular and italic are derived from Gentium Plus,
+while the Type 1 bold and bold italic are derived from Gentium Basic.
+
+There are no intentional changes in the bold and bold italic beyond
+those made by the automatic conversion to Type 1.
+
+These are the changes in the regular and italic; we hope they will be
+incorporated in the original fonts in due time.
+
+- Some extra kerning pairs were added between accents and capital
+ Greek letters.
+
+- The advance width of dcaron and lcaron is much smaller than in the
+ original fonts. This improves the typesetting of Czech and Slovak.
+
+- There are additional kerning pairs for accented Latin letters, the
+ Czech/Slovak letters dcaron and lcaron, and for small caps. The
+ original fonts have no such kerning pairs. Manual corrections are
+ still needed in some cases, e.g., initial cap followed by small cap.
+
+- There was a positive kern between the letters D and V in the regular
+ style of Gentium Plus. The derived font has a negative kern.
+
+The conversion process, including these changes, is implemented in the
+Python and FontForge scripts included in the packages, e.g., ff-gentium.pe.
