+This is release 1.0.7pre22 of Valek Filippov's improved versions of the URW
+type 1 font collection, repackaged for distribution with Ghostscript.
+
+Cyrillized free URW fonts.
+
+These fonts were made from the free URW fonts distributed with ghostcript.
+There are NO changes in the latin part of them (I hope).
+Cyrillic glyphs were added by copying suitable latin ones
+and painting oulines of unique cyrillic glyphs in same style as the others.
+For all modification pfaedit was used.
+The license for result is (of course) same as for original fonts,
+i.e. GPL with an exception that you can put these fonts in your own non-GPLed
+documents. (Looks like LGPL from my point of view =).
+
+The "sources" of these fonts in the native pfaedit format are available
+at ftp://ftp.gnome.ru/fonts/sources
+
+The great font editor pfaedit is available at http://pfaedit.sf.net.
+That page also includes some links to fonts created by
+George Williams -- the author of pfaedit.
+
+Acknowledgements:
+I would like to thank George Williams, the pfaedit's author and developer.
+He is the most bug-reporter/feature-requester friendly developer
+I ever saw in my not so short life. At some moment in the future
+I must write a book about him: "George Williams and my best experience
+in bug-reporting." George also greatly helped me bug-hunting these fonts,
+explained to me some very important things about fonts and font design,
+quickly adopted pfaedit to my needs (or pointed me to The Right Place in
+documentation where I found better way of doing things).
+
+I would like to thank Alexey Novodvorsky (aka AEN), who
+pointed me to pfaedit and George Williams' fonts, explained
+The Task to me. He is also one of the main participators in the
+development of Sysiphus -- free repository of free software.
+I didn't loose my time for compiling/installing and supporting
+my linux box coz I used the result of Sysiphus developers' works.
+
+I would like to thank Sergey Vlasov, who tested these fonts and reported
+about bugs. Also he help me to make some bug-reports to George about
+pfaedit bugs.
+
+I would like Dmitry 40in, who did big QA for some font outlines, drawn some glyphs,
+and explain some The Truths for me.
+
+I would like to thank Vlad Harchev (aka hvv), who
+proofread this text for me.
+
+Also I have to thank RMS for GPL and URW for releasing the fonts
+under it.
+
+Thank you very much!
