This should be understood so that the + 35 base Postscript fonts may be used and developed either under the + LPPL or one of the GPL (GNU Public Licence) or AFPL (Aladdin Free + Public Licence). The latter were put in force with the initial release + of the base fonts with Ghostscript ver. 4.00 in 1996. Hereby we thank + Dr. Rosenfeld. The TeX Gyre fonts are being develped from the + Ghostscript ver. 4.00 base. For reasons explained elsewhere, we prefer + to provide our work under the GUST Font Licence (GFL) which is legally + equivallent to the LPPL. However, since 1996 the 35 PostScript base + fonts were enhanced under the GNU Public License with Vietnamese glyphs + by Han The Thanh and Cyrillic glyphs by Valek Filippov. Han The Thanh + kindly permitted his additions to be retained under under GFL/LPPL in + this and future TeX Gyre fonts releases. Unfortunately, we were unable + to receive a similar permission from Valek Filippov for his Cyrillic + glyphs, thus there are no Cyrillic glyphs in any of the TeX Gyre fonts. +* with the removal of the Cyrillic glyphs all t2a-*.tfm, t2b-*.tfm + t2c-*.tfm files and the relevant LaTeX *.fd files were also removed. +* typos in ligature schemes in `comm_mph.mp' corrected + (`quotedblbase' and `quotedblleft' instead `quotedblright') +* spaceskip make consistent with the width of space -- + qcsb, qcsbi: 0.287em plus 0.144em minus 0.096em, + qcsr, qcsr1: 0.278em plus 0.139em minus 0.093em; + thanks to Jarmo Niemel\"a for pointing out the problem; + previous spacing (0.333em plus 0.167em minus 0.111em) can be restored: + (a) in plain -- by setting \spaceskip=0.333em plus 0.167em minus 0.111em + (b) in LaTeX -- by using option `oldspacing' (see below) +* OTF structure corrected and improved (in particular, the ligature ffi + works now properly) +* `visiblespace' renamed to `uni2423' (suggestion of Werner Lemberg and + Karl Berry) -- hopefully everywhere... +* `Dblgravecomb' renamed to `dblGravecomb' +* `nomero' in MT1 sources renamed to `numero', shape altered, + name `afii61352' no more used +* undertie added (suggestion of Werner Lemberg) + U+203F -- undertie (smile-shaped glyph placed below baseline) + U+2040 -- tie (frown-shaped glyph placed at the top line) + U+2054 -- undertieinverted (frown-shaped glyph placed below baseline) + nota bene, there is no code point in the Unicode table for the inverted tie... +* glyphs `acaron', `Acaron', `icaron', `Icaron', `idieresisacute', + `Idieresisacute', `jcaron', `J_caron', `ocaron', `Ocaron', `ucaron', + `Ucaron', `udieresisacute', `Udieresisacute', `udieresiscaron', + `Udieresiscaron', `udieresisgrave', and `Udieresisgrave' added + (proposal of Oliver Corff) -- all the glyphs but `J_caron' have code + points in the Unicode table and names assigned in the Adobe Glyph List + (incidentaly, in J_caron apostrophe is used alike in lcaron and tcaron -- + cf. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/J-caron), small caps were assigned + code points in Private Unicode Area +* glyps orogate and Orogate (`rogate' in Polish means `with horns') + added -- they are used to denote nasal vowels in ancient Polish texts + (ca. XIV century) +* uni2010 (hyphen duplicate) i uni2011 (non-breakable hyphen duplicate) added + (suggestion of Hans Hagen) +* LaTeX *.sty and *.fd files reworked: + -- option `oldspacing' provided because of the change of default spacing + (see above), + -- files l7x*.fd (Lithuanian) refer to `L7x', as they should, + -- scheme of referring to slanted variants improved, + -- option `scaled=<size>' added which allows to rescale font + at loading, + -- in TeX Gyre LaTeX packages, text bold is defined as + \renewcommand\bfdefault{b} (`b' instead of `bx') + -- options `matchlowercase'/`matchuppercase' added which scale + the font such that its `x_height'/`cap_height' matches + the respective dimension of the main font of the document; + one can say also, e.g., `matchlowercase=1.1' if scaling to 110% + of the `x_height' of the main font of the document is needed; + sample usage: + \documentclass{article} + \usepackage[T1]{fontenc} + \usepackage[matchlowercase]{tgtermes,tgadventor,tgheros} + \begin{document} + We put TG Termes (main) with \textsf{TG Heros} and + {\fontfamily{qag}\selectfont TG Adventor}. \textsf{As~a~result}, + all small letters have the same heights. + \end{document} + (note that now TeX Gyre LaTeX styles require the `kvoptions' module + which, in turn, necessitates using etex) + very many thanks to Marcin Woli\'nski + +REMARKS: +* we are not going to introduce any extensions that would result + in yet more TFMs files (e.g., for more convenient handling + of oldstyle/normal digits) -- in such cases we suggest using + the OTF fonts versions +* improving hints is a kind of Sisyphean job -- there are no tools + for automatic hinting checking; the only method is to check + optically/manually each and every character with various display + agents, on various screens under various operating systems and various + resolutions. We are not totally opposing Sisyphean jobs in general, + but having had that much time as we had, we decided to spend it on + other improvements... + Ver. 1.103: 22.02.2008 * math glyphs shifted horizontally (widths left intact) * kerns between half rings and `A' (also `a.sc') added |
