+This directory contains all the font properties list (VPL)
+for the GFS Didot family and few other VPL files
+needed to build them.
+
+The different VPL files are:
+ didot*7a.vpl VPL files for each serie and shape of the GFS Didot
+ and the encoding OT1. These files have been tuned individually
+ (each! a long work) and only the metrics of the characters
+ have been included automatically.
+ ts1-gfsdidot_model.vpl
+ VPL file used as a model to build all the GFS Didot
+ VPL fonts for the TS1 encoding (Text Companion encoding).
+ This file has been manually crafted but all the specific
+ parts have been marked (with special strings or comments)
+
+ By using some scripts available in the directory "../tools"
+ all the GFS Didot fonts for the TS1 encoding can be generated.
+ The main file to use is "../tools/MetricsTS1Fonts.sh".
+
+ Since not all characters for the TS1 encoding are available
+ in the GFS Didot Postscript fonts, a supplementary font
+ TeXGyre Pagella was used to retrieve the misssing characters.
+
+ This model should be used when the Postscript font GFS Didot
+ in regular form is used (since this font contains more characters
+ than the other GFS Didot Postcript fonts).
+ ts1-gfsdidot_model_1.vpl
+ similar to the previous one but more characters are retrieved from
+ the font TeXGyre Pagella. It should be used when the GFS Didot Postscript
+ fonts in non regular shape and serie are used
+ ts1-gfsdidot*.vpl
+ The final VPL font file for the GFS Didot font and the TS1 encoding.
+ gdidot*6a.vpl The final VPL used to produce the greek fonts. These
+ files are generated fully automatically.
+ gfsudidotmath8a.vpl
+ The files for producing the math font. This file has been tuned manually.
