+# stix2-type1, v2.0.0a
+Type 1 versions of STIX 2.0.0 for legacy TeX engines
+
+If you are using XeTeX or luaTeX, you do not need the files in this
+directory. See the stix2-otf package instead.
+
+The stix2 package provides support for versions of TeX that are
+limited to TFM files, Type 1 PostScript fonts, and 8-bit font
+encodings. Version 2.0.0 of the STIX fonts are being released in this
+format in hopes of easing the transition from legacy TeX engines to
+modern fully Unicode-compatible systems. The Type 1 versions are
+merely a repackaging of the original OpenType versions and should not
+be viewed as independent entities. Some glyphs that are traditionally
+available in TeX math fonts are not available in version 2.0.0 of STIX
+Two. In such cases, we have chosen to omit them from the stix2
+package rather than create incompatibilities between the OpenType and
+Type 1 versions.
+
+Note that while the OpenType versions of these fonts are under active
+development, **no further updates** are planned to the Type 1
+distribution; future efforts by the STI Pub companies will focus on
+improving the OpenType fonts. However, patches to the existing Type 1
+distribution are welcome and, pending review, will be incorporated
+into the distribution. Any such patches should be submitted through
+the github repo at
+
+ https://github.com/stipub/stixfonts
+
+# Changelog
+
+v2.0.0a fixes a problem in the TeX font metrics file for stix2-mathcal
+(https://github.com/stipub/stixfonts/issues/108). The only changes
+outside of this README file were to the files stix2-mathcal.tfm and
+stix2-mathcal.pl.
