Overview 
========

This package includes the VenturisADF font collection, LaTeX support files and
documentation.


Copyright and licensing 
=======================

Fonts 
-----

The Venturis Collection consists of fonts made by Arkandis Digital Foundry
(ADF), collectively known as the "Software", currently maintained by ADF.  As
the Software is modified from Utopia fonts, they are under the same license as
the Utopia fonts themselves.  That is, Akandis Digital Foundry hereby grants the
TeX Users Group and any and all other interested parties the rights enumerated
in the Utopia license.

As Venturis is a trademark of Arkandis Digital Foundry, any modified versions of
Software shall not use the font name(s) or trademark(s), in whole or in part,
unless explicit written permission is granted by ADF as described in the initial
license.

The following changes have been made to the standard Venturis Collection font
files in preparing this package for use with (La)TeX:
- the postscript versions of the fonts have been renamed according to the Karl
  Berry fontname scheme.

This work consists of all files listed in manifest.txt.

The following changes have been made to the standard Venturis Collection
documentation in preparing this package:
- a new README (this file) has replaced the original README, incorporating both
  relevant parts of the original and additional information concerning TeX/LaTeX
  support
- LIST-Venturis.txt has been edited to reflect the Karl Berry fontname scheme
  used for the postscript type 1 fonts (see below).

The following files are derived works under the terms of the LPPL:

lining.etx 
---------- 

lining.etx is derived from The Font Installation Guide by Philipp Lehman.
lining.etx is unmodified.  

A copy of The Font Installation Guide is available from
http://tug.ctan.org/cgi-bin/ctanPackageInformation.py?id=fontinstallationguide.
The included archive figuide-examples.tar.gz consists of files and templates
released under the LPPL.  These include both lining.etx.

t1-venturis.etx 
---------------

TeX/LaTeX support files and documentation
-----------------------------------------

The LaTeX support files, unlike the fonts themselves, are experimental. Although
I don't think they will persuade your cat to revolt (how many cats need
persuading?) or drink all your tea, things may not work as advertised. If you
find bugs, please let me know. I will fix them if I can. If you know how to fix
them, please tell me as this greatly increases the chances of the "if I can"
condition being satisfied.


Installation and use 
====================

TeX/LaTeX support 
-----------------

See included documentation, venturisadf.pdf, for information regarding (La)TeX
support.

The LaTeX packages (venturis, venturis2 and venturisold) require nfssext-cfr,
available from CTAN.
