Luciole package

Description

This package provides four Unicode Math text fonts Luciole-*.ttf’ anda companion maths font Luciole-Math.otf’. They have been developed explicitly for visually impaired people and are the result of a collaboration between the Regional Technical Center for Visual Impairment, the type-design studio typographies.fr and the mathematician Daniel Flipo. The Luciole project received a grant from the Swiss Ceres Foundation and the PEP69 association, and support from the DIPHE laboratory at the Université Lumière Lyon 2 and the association GUTenberg.
