                FPL Fonts -- SC/OsF for URW Palladio L

======================================================================

                                                            2018-12-11

                                                          Ralf Stubner 

                                                 

The FPL Fonts consist of the following four fonts:

fplrc8a.pfb   TeXPalladioL-SC

fplrij8a.pfb  TeXPalladioL-ItalicOsF

fplbj8a.pfb   TeXPalladioL-BoldOsF

fplbij8a.pfb  TeXPalladioL-BoldItalicOsF

The FPL Fonts provide a set of SC/OsF fonts for URW Palladio L which are

compatible with respect to metrics with the Palatino SC/OsF fonts from

Adobe. Note that it is not my aim to exactly reproduce the outlines of

the original Adobe fonts. The SC and OsF in the FPL Fonts were designed

with the glyphs from URW Palladio L as starting point. For some glyphs

(eg 'o') I got the best result by scaling and boldening. For others (eg

'h') shifting selected portions of the character gave more satisfying

results. All this was done using the free font editor FontForge

. The kerning data in these fonts comes

from Walter Schmidt's improved Palatino metrics. Please report any issues

at .

Deficiencies

------------

On the character level only automatic hinting as done by FontForge has

been applied to the SC and OsF glyphs.

Usage with LaTeX

----------------

As the FPL Fonts have the same metrics as their Adobe counterparts, the

improved Palatino metrics by Walter Schmidt can be used. They are part

of PSNFSS 9.2, which can be found on CTAN:macros/latex/required/psnfss/.

Therefore, it is best to update your TeX distribution to a version which

provides PSNFSS 9.2. The usage with LaTeX is documented in psnfss2e.pdf.

Please follow the installation instruction from PSNFSS, if you want to

upgrade PSNFSS only.
