-LOFP - Libertine Open Fonts Project
-
-1. OPEN FONTS PROJECT'S AIMS
-We work on a serif and organic grotesque font-family for practical use in documents.
-Our project aims at creating a free alternative to the standard W*ndows Font (T*mes).
-But neveretheless Libertine and Biolinum are not a clone of any common font!
-They have been developed from scratch and go different ways in typography
-than the Times or Arial. Just the useability and the dimensions shall be similar,
-Libertine should be even better for typical office use! If you want Times- and
-Arial-clones go elsewhere. If you just need reliable and good typography
-give our fonts a chance. If you want to know more about the design of
-Libertine and Biolinum, have a look at our website.
-
-2. LICENSE AND OPENSOURCE
-We publish our fonts under the terms of the GPL (see GPL.txt) and OFL (OFL.txt)
--> see also LICENCE.txt!
-The OpenSource-tool Fontforge is used as font editor (see http://fontforge.sf.net).
-
-3. FONT FORMATS: TTF, OTF, SVG, WOFF
-The font files are available as TTF (TrueType), OTF (OpenType),
-SVG (Scalable Vector Graphics) and WOFF (Web Open Font Format) fonts.
-The TTF-/WOFF-Family is called "Linux Libertine" and "Linux Biolinum"
-and the OTF/SVG "LinuxLibertine O" and "Linux Biolinum O".
-
-So that both types can be installed and used parallely.
-Most often TTF is the better supported format though OTF has advances in printing.
-Decide yourself what is better for your purpose. OpenType-features are equally
-available in both fonts. Note that OpenOffice doesn’t support OTFs, yet.
-
-4. THE LINUX BIOLINUM FONT FACE
-Please note:
-While you use Libertine-Fonts without any warranty anyway,
-take special care with this young font face.
-
-5. HINTING
-The TrueType-hinting is a complex technique and our editor FontForge doesn't support
-full possibilities (but it becomes alot better version by version) ...
-Since version 2.7 also the normal TTFs are hinted. If you don't like this, send me a mail.
-You may also try the OpenTypes (which contain PS-Hintings which are quite
-good supported by FontForge).
-
-6. DOWNLOAD AND CONTACT
-We publish our fonts at http://www.linuxlibertine.org/.
-
-7. THE UNDERLINED VARIANT
-Please note:
-The underlined variant is recently not being maintained because its concept
-doesn’t seem to be sofware-technically reliable and because of lack of interest.
-The advantage of this font was that g, commas, cedillas... were not overprinted
-by the line anymore. For technical reasons the space was not underlined but
-you could use the _ instead. In this font it had the width of the space and
-the line was at hight of the underline. The underlined variant used
-an older font outline.
