On Tue, 12 Oct 2010 Staszek Wawrykiewicz submitted an update to the poltawski font package. > 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).
