TeX-Gyre Cursor is based on URW Nimbus Mono L (based on +Courier, designed by Howard G. Kettler in 1955, for IBM). TeX Gyre Heros +is based on URW Nimbus Sans L (from Helvetica, prepared by Max +Miedinger, with Eduard Hoffmann in 1957). TeX Gyre Pagella is based on +URW Palladio L (from Palation, designed by Hermann Zapf in the 1940s). +TeX Gyre Schola is based on the URW Century Schoolbook L family (which +was designed by Morris Fuller Benton for the American Type Founders). +TeX Gyre Termes is based on the URW Nimbus Roman No9 L family of fonts +(whose original, Times, was designed by Stanley Morison together with +Starling Burgess and Victor Lardent and first offered by Monotype). The +constituent standard faces of each family have been greatly extended, +and contain nearly 1200 glyphs each (though Chorus omits Greek support, +has no small-caps family and has approximately 900 glyphs).

Vietnamese and +Cyrillic characters were added by Han The Thanh and Valek Filippov, +respectively. |
