Summary description: LaTeX Support for Adobe Caslon Open Face
License type: other-free
Announcement text:
Caslon Open Face font was desgined by Barnhart Brothers and Spindler in 1915. It was initially colled College Oldstyle and based on Le Moreau de Jeune from G. Peignot foundry. Its realtion to the classical Caslon font family is rather distant. Nevertheless it is a nice titling and display font. Adobe sells OTF version of this font, but other versions, including Type 1 are still available from other vendors, including http://www.fonts.com. Note that there are many ``free'' variants of this font available for downloading on various sites; I chose not to use them because of unclear license status. While modern engines like XeTeX and LuaTeX can use system fonts directly, the installation base of the other systems is huge, so it might be worthwile to release support files. The name pcarl follows the standart Fontname scheme for Adobe Caslon Open Face. This package was commssioned by Annals of Mathematics, http://annals.princeton.edu/.
This package is at http://tug.ctan.org/tex-archive/fonts/pcarl . Information is at http://tug.ctan.org/pkg/pcarl (it may take a day for the information to appear). We are supported by the TeX Users Group http://www.tug.org . For your users group see http://www.tug.org/usergroups.html .
