Subject: TeX Gyre and (no) Cyrillic
Date: Wed, 6 Jan 2010 14:59:21 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <6faad9f01001060559o2ccaef98l7505f29ed08b62f4@mail.gmail.com> (raw)
Dear Cyrillic users,
this is just to let you know (in particular Vyatcheslav) that minimals
still contain an outdated version of TeX Gyre fonts. Below you can
read part of font development history. Simply put: Cyrillic support
has been removed a few months ago (I didn't follow closely and didn't
notice that right away).
We might keep a zip with the old font files somewhere, but support for
Cyrillic will be gone by default. Someone would need to take over the
development of Cyrillic glyphs if they were to be supported. And
someone needs to fix the wiki page.
Please do not blame me - we cannot do anything but follow what the
Polish have decided. If anyone disagrees, you are welcome to form a
team to work on those glyphs.
Ver 2.003: 16.09.2009
* this is the first official release of the TeX Gyre Termes fonts since
June 22, 2009, when URW++, represented by Dr. Peter Rosenfeld, its
Managing Director, kindly agreed to release the original 35 base
PostScript fonts as shipped with Ghostscript ver. 4.00 under the LPPL
(LaTeX Project Public License). This should be understood so that the
35 base Postscript fonts may be used and developed either under the
LPPL or one of the GPL (GNU Public Licence) or AFPL (Aladdin Free
Public Licence). The latter were put in force with the initial release
of the base fonts with Ghostscript ver. 4.00 in 1996. Hereby we thank
Dr. Rosenfeld. The TeX Gyre fonts are being develped from the
Ghostscript ver. 4.00 base. For reasons explained elsewhere, we prefer
to provide our work under the GUST Font Licence (GFL) which is legally
equivallent to the LPPL. However, since 1996 the 35 PostScript base
fonts were enhanced under the GNU Public License with Vietnamese glyphs
by Han The Thanh and Cyrillic glyphs by Valek Filippov. Han The Thanh
kindly permitted his additions to be retained under under GFL/LPPL in
this and future TeX Gyre fonts releases. Unfortunately, we were unable
to receive a similar permission from Valek Filippov for his Cyrillic
glyphs, thus there are no Cyrillic glyphs in any of the TeX Gyre fonts.
* with the removal of the Cyrillic glyphs all t2a-*.tfm, t2b-*.tfm
t2c-*.tfm files and the relevant LaTeX *.fd files were also removed.
Mojca
