Subject: New STIX font version
Date: Fri, 07 Oct 2011 15:53:07 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <4E8F0443.9060508@net-b.de> (raw)
Hi all,
you might be interested in hearing that there is a new there is a new
version of the STIX fonts (since 1h ago) - or rather a beta version:
1.1.0-beta1. See:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/stixfonts/files/STIXv1.1.0-beta1.zip/download
"The beta period will remain open until December 1, 2011." - Thus, one
has still 5 months time to comment on the bugs. (Or are that two moths?
With STIX ETA one never knows ...)
As reminder: STIX fonts
(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/STIX_Fonts_project) are a large collection
of Times-like math fonts, created by several publishing houses in a
rather slow process. A year ago, 1.0 was relased and now with 1.1b1 is
finally released. Seemingly, one can now use it directly such that one
does not need the XITS fonts anymore. (Cf. http://typophile.com/node/71171)
From the release notes:
"What is new in this release?
The original Version 1.0 STIX was packaged as 29 distinct font files.
Version 1.1.0-‐beta1 provides the same set of
glyphs packaged as a set of 4 text fonts and 1 symbol font. This new
packaging will facilitate the use of the font on more
desktop applications, and will specifically allow the symbol font to be
used in recent versions of the Microsoft Word Equation Editor."
"In addition, an update was made to address compatibility issues between
the font set and the Windows PostScript driver."
Besides those changes, some a (very) few glyphs have been added and some
smaller changes have been done.
Tobias
