Summary description: Support files for SoftMaker free fonts available at www.freefont.de License type: lppl Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- In June 2009 www.freefont.de offered a beautiful handwriting font for free download: The Softmaker Stone Handwriting. As handwriting fonts are a quite limited resource in the LaTeX world, I decided to create support files for this beautiful font.

Supported fonts at the moment: Baskerville-Nova (regular + bold + italic + bold italic), Congress (regular + bold + italic), Delano-Caps, Flagstaff, Henderson, Iceberg (regular + bold), Jugendstil, Old Blackletter, Stone Handwriting, Sunset (regular + bold) License: LPPL (not the fonts themselves) New in v1.9: - added support for the font family Sunset (regular + bold + faked slanted + faked small caps) Attention: The font is not included! This font is font of the month (March 2010) and can be downloaded for free (at least this month) at: http://www.freefont.de Later you can buy it from Softmaker - added options scaled and leading to all existing style files - changing font families: fsh->5sh, fhs->5hs, ffs->5fs, fib->5ib - renamed freefont.map -> softmaker-freefont.map - renamed directory Baskerville-Nova -> BaskervilleNova ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This package is located at http://mirror.ctan.org/fonts/softmaker-freefont/ .
