+shortdesc SC and OsF fonts for URW Palladio L
+longdesc The FPL Fonts provide a set of SC/OsF fonts for URW Palladio L
+longdesc which are compatible with respect to metrics with the Palatino
+longdesc SC/OsF fonts from Adobe. Note that it is not my aim to exactly
+longdesc reproduce the outlines of the original Adobe fonts. The SC and OsF
+longdesc in the FPL Fonts were designed with the glyphs from URW Palladio L
+longdesc as starting point. For some glyphs (eg 'o') I got the best result
+longdesc by scaling and boldening. For others (eg 'h') shifting selected
+longdesc portions of the character gave more satisfying results. All this
+longdesc was done using the free font editor FontForge
+longdesc (http://fontforge.sf.net). The kerning data in these fonts comes
+longdesc from Walter Schmidt's improved Palatino metrics. [description
