XITS fonts - second beta

XITS fonts - second beta

[Khaled Hosny]

I just uploaded a second beta of XITS fonts, this mainly introduces XITS
text fonts, regular, bold, italic and bold italic. No changes to the
math font. This release features also a rudimentary user guide.

The text fonts provide to features over STIX fonts:
* oldstyle figures, through 'onum' feature
* text fractions, through 'frac' feature

As usual, it is available from github:
http://github.com/khaledhosny/xits-math/downloads

Regards,
 Khaled

Is there a chance this typescript gets into texlive? As I'm trying to
get the font ready by the time of texlive2010, I think having the
updated typescript will make installation instructions much simpler.

I am sure we can squeeze in a typescript if it is just that,
a single typescript.

Best wishes,
Taco

And so I did. ConTeXt mkiv in TL will support both 'stix' and 'xits'
typescripts that are in the current beta (xits matching XITS beta 2).

Best wishes,
Taco
