It is released to the public domain. + +The yinit.pdf font chart was created by running (more or less): + mf '\mode:=ljfour;input yinit' && gftopk yinit + echo '\table\end' | tex testfont + dvips testfont && ps2pdf testfont.ps yinit.pdf +There is no other documentation (available or needed). + +Historical note 1: Andreas Schrell made a modified driver file, +yinitas.mf, and a LaTeX file initials.sty. These are now available on +CTAN separate from this directory (they used to be merged together). + +Historical note 2: since inception, TeX Live contained a stub driver +file, yinitdd.mf, which merely generated the letter D. At Yannis' +suggestion, it has now been removed. + +Historical note 3: yinit was re-uploaded to CTAN in January 2015 by +Karl Berry, including this README, after discussions with Yannis about +the license and other points above. No changes to the actual font, +either metrics or glyphs, but because of the license clarification, +the release date/version is explicitly mentioned above. |
