# stixfonts
OpenType Unicode fonts for Scientific, Technical, and Mathematical texts

## Description

The Scientific and Technical Information eXchange (STIX) fonts are
intended to satisfy the demanding needs of authors, publishers,
printers, and others working in the scientific, medical, and technical
fields.  They combine a comprehensive Unicode-based collection of
mathematical symbols and alphabets with a set of text faces suitable
for professional publishing.  The fonts are available royalty-free
under the SIL Open Font License.

See the [release notes](STIX_2.0.0_release_notes.txt) for a more
detailed introduction to this version of the fonts.

## Type 1 support

The STIX Two fonts are a set of OpenType fonts and are meant to be
used in that format.  For the benefit of LaTeX users who are currently
unable to use XeTeX or LuaTeX, we have also provided a set of TFM, VF,
and Type 1 files in the CTAN package stix2-type1.  Please note that
while development of the OpenType fonts is ongoing, no further updates
to the Type 1 versions are planned.
