---------------------------- History -----------------------------

Version 5.1 25-Mar-99

* Symmetry of the number 8 improved.

* Curvature of tilde exagerated to prevent it from looking
like a straight line at low point sizes.

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

Version 5.0 16-Feb-99

* Several character shapes have been changed to improve
distinctiveness and legibility.

* All character outlines have been made more precise
and uniform, resulting in better on-screen legibility
and consistency (i.e. improved "color").

* The hints for every character have been reviewed and
improved. Because the font does not use delta hints,
however, it's on-screen appearance is not quite as good
at low point sizes as fonts that do.

* Direct support for bold, oblique, and bold oblique
family members has been dropped. The shapes calculated by
the rasterizer look better.

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

Version 4.0 11-Dec-97

* The on-screen appearance has been improved considerably.

* Characters are slightly (about 2%) narrower, allowing
more characters per line.

* MS-DOS graphics characters have been added. As a result
the character keymap has changed somewhat. The keycodes
for the standard characters has not changed, but the
keycodes of special characters such as '(c)' (copyright)
have changed.

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

Version 3.0 24-Jan-97

* Fixed a problem with the attributes of the oblique
family members.

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

Version 2.0 5-May-96

* The entire font family (regular, oblique, bold, and
bold oblique is supported.
* The weight of the font has been made considerably
more uniform.
* Character shapes have been tweaked for a better
screen appearance.
* Additional character positions have been filled to
prevent problems with desktop publishing applications.

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

Version 1.0 3-Oct-95

* Origination
