CTAN update notification: FPL Fonts

Date: February 7, 2005 5:08:45 PM CET
On Sat, 5 Feb 2005 Ralf Stubner submitted an update to his fpl fonts. The FPL Fonts provide a set of SC/OsF fonts for URW Palladio L which are compatible with respect to metrics with the Palatino SC/OsF fonts from Adobe. Note that it is not my aim to exactly reproduce the outlines of the original Adobe fonts. The SC and OsF in the FPL Fonts were designed with the glyphs from URW Palladio L as starting point. For some glyphs (eg 'o') I got the best result by scaling and boldening. For others (eg 'h') shifting selected portions of the character gave more satisfying results. All this was done using the free font editor FontForge (http://fontforge.sf.net). The kerning data in these fonts comes from Walter Schmidt's improved Palatino metrics. Location on CTAN: /fonts/fpl/ License type: gpl Announcement text:
This is a bug fix release of the FPL fonts, which corrects the lcaron glyph in the SC font. For compatibility reasons, references are no longer used for the accented characters in the SC font. Also some internal changes have been made.
Thanks for the update. For the CTAN Team Rainer Schöpf
