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` directory in the [source repository][5], using [FontForge][3]. 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 GNU Make, [FontForge][3] Python module,
|
|
and [FontTools][4].
