Package: Antykwa Poltawskiego fonts Version: 1.101 Date: Oct 9 2010 Authors: Bogusl{}aw Jackowski and Janusz M. Nowacki License: GUST Font License Location on CTAN: fonts/poltawski

Maintenance status maintained. The Current Maintainer of this work is Bogusl{}aw Jackowski and Janusz M. Nowacki.

The package contains the Antykwa Po{l}tawskiego family of fonts in the PostScript Type 1 and OpenType formats. The original font was designed in the twenties of the XX century by the Polish typographer Adam Po{l}tawski (1881-1952).

Following the route set out by the Latin Modern and TeX Gyre projects (http://www.gust.org.pl/projects/e-foundry), the Antykwa Poltawskiego digitisation project aims at providing a rich collection of diacritical characters in the attempt to cover as many Latin-based scripts as possible. To our knowledge, the repertoire of characters covers all European languages as well as some other Latin-based alphabets such as Vietnamese and Navajo; at the request of users, recent extensions (following the enhancement of the Latin Modern collection) provide glyphs sufficient for typesetting of romanized transliterations of Arabic and Sanskrit scripts.

The Antykwa Poltawskiego family consists of 4 weights (light, normal, medium, bold), each having upright and italic forms and one of 5 design sizes: 6, 8, 10, 12 and 17pt (in the OTF lingo: extended, semiextended, normal, semicondensed, and condensed, respectively). Altogether, the collection comprises 40 font files, containing the same repertoire of 1126 characters.

Recent changes: Ver 1.101: 09.10.2010 mistakenly missing `smcp' (small caps) feature and stylistic alternatives added in OTF files; altered implementation of the `numr', `dnom', `frac', and `dlig' features; other font files remained essentially intact (only version number changed).

Thanks for the upload.
