NAME

Adobe Utopia Typeface —

fonts for GNU Troff

SYNOPSIS

groff -F/usr/local/share/utopia

DESCRIPTION

The print/utopia port installs the files needed to use the PostScript Type 1 version of the Adobe Utopia typeface with GNU Troff, as it is configured in a FreeBSD basic install.

USAGE

The port installs the fonts and support files in /usr/local/share/utopia. To get Groff to see the fonts, one must either employ that program's -F option to specify this directory, or one must set the GROFF_FONT_PATH environment variable.

The fonts are named in Groff as follows.

Groff Font Name	Font
`UR`	Utopia Roman
`UI`	Utopia Italic
`UB`	Utopia Bold
`UBI`	Utopia Bold Italic

One may employ the ".fam U" command to set the current family to Utopia.

LICENSE

The fonts are released under a royalty-free licence, a copy of which may be found in

/usr/local/share/utopia/devps/LICENSE

Adobe Utopia was originally designed by Robert Slimbach and released commercially by Adobe Systems Incorporated in 1989. In 1992, Adobe contributed the typeface to the X Consortium for distribution with the X Window System, under a license allowing redistribution without fee. In 2006, Adobe re-licensed the Type 1 versions to the TeX Users Group under an expanded license clarifying the terms under which modified versions may be distributed, and granting the right to sub-license. TUG in turn sub-licensed all their rights to the typeface to any and all interested parties.

Note that this license applies only to the original PostScript Type 1 versions of Adobe Utopia. Adobe has since released a new commercial version of Utopia in OpenType format, to which this license does not apply.
