Description-en: OpenType fonts based on URW Fonts
The TeX Gyre project, following the Latin Modern project, aims at providing
a rich collection of diacritical characters in the attempt to cover as many
Latin-based scripts as possible.
.
This package provides the OpenType variant of these fonts. For support
for TeX and Type 1 (PostScript) fonts, see the tex-gyre package.
.
The TeX-GYRE bundle consists of seven font families:
.
The TeX Gyre Adventor family of fonts is based on the URW Gothic L
family (designed by Herb Lubalin and Tom Carnase).
.
The TeX Gyre Bonum family of fonts is based on the URW Bookman L family
(designed by Alexander Phemister).
.
The TeX Gyre Chorus font is based on URW Chancery L Medium Italic
(designed by Hermann Zapf (ITC Zapf Chancery(R), 1979)).
.
The TeX Gyre Cursor family is based on the URW Nimbus Mono L family
(designed by Howard G. (Bud) Kettler in 1955 for the IBM corporation).
.
The TeX Gyre Heros family of fonts is based on the URW Nimbus Sans L
(prepared by Max Miedinger, with Eduard Hoffmann).
.
The TeX Gyre Pagella family of fonts is based on the URW Palladio L
family (designed by Hermann Zapf).
.
The TeX Gyre Schola family of fonts is based on the URW Century
Schoolbook L family (designed by Morris Fuller Benton).
.
The TeX Gyre Termes is based on the URW Nimbus Roman No9 L family
(designed by Stanley Morison together with Starling Burgess and
Victor Lardent).
.
The constituent 4 standard faces of each family have been greatly
extended, and contain nearly 1200 glyphs each. Each family is
available in Adobe Type 1 and Open Type formats, and LaTeX support
(for use with a variety of encodings) is provided. Vietnamese
characters were added by Han The Thanh.
