| PackageDescription | 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 fonts shipped in this package are registered as alternatives for the
35 core PostScript fonts with fontconfig.
.
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).

(designed by Alexander Phemister).

.
The TeX Gyre Cursor family is based on the URW Nimbus Mono L family

available in Adobe Type 1 and Open Type formats, and LaTeX support
(for use with a variety of encodings) is provided. Vietnamese
