The XITS font project
|
||
|
|
======================
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
XITS is a Times-like typeface for mathematical and scientific publishing,
|
||
|
|
based on [STIX fonts][1]. The main mission of XITS is to provide a
|
||
|
|
version of STIX fonts enriched with the OpenType MATH extension, making
|
||
|
|
it suitable for high quality mathematic typesetting with OpenType MATH
|
||
|
|
capable layout systems, like MS Office 2007 and the new TeX engines
|
||
|
|
XeTeX and LuaTeX.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
XITS font is free, open source font, under [Open Font License][2],
|
||
|
|
version 1.1.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The current version of XITS is based on version 1.1.0-beta1 of STIX fonts.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
This is work in progress, feedback, bug reports and even patches are
|
||
|
|
welcomed.

|
----------
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The preferred way for modifying the fonts is by editing the SFD files under
|
||
|
|
`sources`, using [Sorts Mill Tools][3] or [FontForge][4]. When submitting
|
||
|
|
patches, please make sure they are as clean as possible, avoiding any unrelated
|
||
|
|
or unnecessary changes.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
To build the fonts from source you need a make program (only GNU Make is
|
||
|
|
tested), either [Sorts Mill Tools][3] (preferred) or [FontForge][4] with Python
|
||
|
|
support, and [FontTools][5].
