+FONTLOG for the MarVoSym font with TeX support
+
+This file provides detailed information on the MarVoSym font with TeX support. This information should be distributed along with the fonts and any derivative works.
+
+This file has been created for the MarVoSym font with TeX support. The original font MarVoSym at marvosym.com lacks a FONTLOG as recommended by the SIL Open Font Licence.
+
+
+Basic Font Information
+
+MarVoSym is Martin Vogel's Symbols font. It contains many useful
+symbols, especially for office and civil engineering purposes.
+
+This marvosym package contains additional support files for TeX.
+
+
+Note: This is not a Unicode-compliant font. Characters that could have been
+mapped to Unicode slots (like Zodiac) are all in ASCII range or under 256.
+
+Documentation is included in package that can be downloaded from
+ http://ctan.org/pkg/marvosym
+If you want to contribute to the project, write to the maintainer or to
+the tex-live mailing list:
+ tex-live at tug dot org

+ChangeLog
+
+2011-08-15 (Mojca Miklavec) MarVoSym font with TeX support Version 2.2
+- Fixed licence of TeX support files. Original font is licenced under OFL,
+ which prohibits GPL licence. Reorganized documentation, added OFL licence
+ texts and this FONTLOG.txt which is sadly missing in original font.
+ Thanks to Karl Berry for many useful suggestions and impromevents.
+- Added original TTF font.
+- Updated to font version 3.10 (2008-09-01).
+- Recreated Type 1 font files with some incompatible changes in font metrics,
+ some glyphs removed and some newly introduced ones. Created TDS directory
+ structure and made LaTeX macros 100 % compatible with original names.
+ Old LaTeX names were kept as synonyms.
+- AFM file now contains proper glyph names instead of names of
+ ASCII characters on those slots.
+- Characters `A' and `p' (positions 0xF0 and 0xF1) are no longer present,
+ as they are not in the original font.
+- Some high school logos were removed or replaced.
+
+2008-09-01 (Martin Vogel) MarVoSym font Version 3.10
+- note: documentation claims the release date to be 2008-09-01,
+ while font file refers to 2007-11-04
+- (changelog unknown; it can only be reconstructed from comparison of Thomas'
+ latest pfb and new ttf; maybe somebody will do that comparison one day)
+
+2006-05-11 (Thomas Henlich) MarVoSym font with TeX support Version 2.1
