The original +font was designed in the twenties of the XX century by the +Polish typographer Adam Poltawski(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. Altogether, the collection comprises 40 +font files, containing the same repertoire of 1126 characters. +The preliminary version of Antykwa Poltawskiego (antp package) +released in 2000 is rendered obsolete by this package. |
