TeX Gyre Pagella is based on the URW Palladio L kindly released by URW++ Design and Development Inc. under GFL (independently of the GPL release accompanying Ghostscript). The Vietnamese glyphs were added by Han The Thanh. TeX Gyre Pagella can be used as a replacement for the renowned Palatino font (designed by Hermann Zapf in the 1940's for the Stempel type foundry; an interesting lifestory of Hermann Zapf can be found at: http://www.linotype.com/1494/theschoolyears.html ); Note that the widths of the TeX Gyre Pagella glyphs are almost consistent with the relevant Adobe metric data (for the glyphs from the Adobe Standard Encoding): ftp://ftp.adobe.com/pub/adobe/type/win/all/afmfiles/base35/pob_____.afm ftp://ftp.adobe.com/pub/adobe/type/win/all/afmfiles/base35/pobi____.afm ftp://ftp.adobe.com/pub/adobe/type/win/all/afmfiles/base35/poi_____.afm ftp://ftp.adobe.com/pub/adobe/type/win/all/afmfiles/base35/por_____.afm The only exception is `perthousand' in the regular variant (Adobe: 1144; TeX Gyre: 1000 which is consistent with the width of perthousand in other variants). The discrepancy (in the regular variant) between the width of the glyph `i' (291) and the width of `dotlessi' (287) was preserved as optically irrelevant. * * * The TeX Gyre project, following the Latin Modern project, aims at providing a rich collection of diacritical characters in the attempt to cover as many Latin-based scripts as possible. To our knowledge, the repertoire of characters covers all European languages as well as some other Latin-based alphabets such as Vietnamese and Navajo; at the request of users, recent extensions (following the enhancement of the Latin Modern collection) provide glyphs sufficient for typesetting of romanized transliterations of Arabic and Sanskrit scripts. We have frequently used the information presented by Michael Everson at the ``The Alphabets of Europe'' ( http://www.evertype.com/alphabets/ ) web site. If you know about European languages that are not covered completely or if some glyphs have apparently wrong shapes -- please let us know. Note, however, that Greek glyphs bear provisional character. The TeX Gyre Project was launched and is supported by TeX USERS GROUPS (CS TUG, DANTE eV, GUST, NTG, TUG India, TUG). Hearty thanks to the representatives of these groups and also to all people who helped with comments, ideas, remarks, bug reports, objections, hints, consolations, etc. * * * The TeX Gyre Pagella family consists of 4 text fonts: regular, italic, bold and bold italic (qplr, qplri, qplb, qplbi). The TeX Gyre Pagella family can be freely used and distributed under the GUST Font License (see above) which is actually an instance of the LaTeX Project Public License (LPPL; see http://www.latex-project.org/lppl.txt ). * * * The package consists of the files in the directories conforming to the TeX Directory Structure (v. 1.1). The directories contain: doc/fonts/tex-gyre this file, manifest, licence, test files, and, moreover, selected files used as input for generating OTFs (meant as a technical documentation of the OTFs) tex/latex/tex-gyre support for LaTeX (*.fd and *.sty files, prepared by Marcin Woli\'nski) fonts/enc/dvips/tex-gyre support for dvips (*.enc files); NOTE: all fonts of the TeX Gyre family share the same *.enc files with a few exceptions: CS, QX, and RM encodings for TeX Gyre Cursor (monospace) differ from the standard ones (because of the compatibility with Computer Modern typewriter fonts requested by users), and, moreover, CS, L7x, QX and RM encodings for TeX Gyre Chorus exploit exceptionally the `lslash_lslash' ligature fonts/map/dvips/tex-gyre support for dvips (*.map files) fonts/opentype/public/tex-gyre fonts in the OpenType format (*.otf files) fonts/type1/public/tex-gyre PostScript (Type 1) font files and printer font metric files (*.pfb and *.pfm, respectively); fonts/tfm/public/tex-gyre TeX font metric files (*.tfm) for: -- CS (CSTUG) encoding (cs-*.tfm), -- EC (Cork) encoding (ec-*.tfm), -- L7x (Lithuanian) encoding (l7x-*.tfm), -- QX (GUST) encoding (qx-*.tfm), -- RM (Regular Math or OT1) encoding (rm-*.tfm), -- Y&Y's TeX'n'ANSI aka LY1 encoding (texnansi-*.tfm), -- T5 (Vietnamese) encoding (t5-*.tfm), -- Text Companion for EC fonts aka TS1 (ts1-*.tfm). Encodings CS, EC, L7x, QX, RM, Y&Y, and T5 have their cap-small-caps counterparts (*-sc.tfm). fonts/afm/public/tex-gyre Adobe font metric files (*.afm); Email contact: Bogus\l{}aw Jackowski aka Jacko, B_Jackowski@gust.org.pl * * * In ConTeXt, support for TeX Gyre Collection can be found in the typescript definition files: ... /tex/context/base/type-enc.tex ... /tex/context/base/type-syn.tex ... /tex/context/base/type-exa.tex ... /tex/context/base/type-map.tex Additional encoding and map files can be found under: ... /texmf/fonts/map/pdftex/context ... /texmf/fonts/enc/pdftex/context * * * All four font files, qplb, qplbi, qplr, qplri, share the same repertoire of characters. The number of glyphs in the PFB/OTF files (.notdef ignored) equals 1616/1548; see qpl-info.pdf file in the relevant doc directory for details
