Hi,

I think the two font families are distributed by URW in free licence?

The license of URW Garamond prohibits modification so it can not be imporved upon bt the TeX Gyre project,

Sorry, I have to rephrase that. The license is such that any improvements made by the TeX Gyre project could not be included in texlive (the license prohibits commercial redistribution). That in turn made the font family undesirable candidate for TeX Gyre, I assume. Best wishes, Taco

Hi, Taco, Thanks for your clear explanation! as had been pointed out by you, TeX Gyre project is a font development effort, not a redistribution. So why don't we develop our own flavor of Garamond? Yue Wang On Mon, Jan 12, 2009 at 10:14 PM, Taco Hoekwater wrote:

The license of URW Garamond prohibits modification so it can not be imporved upon bt the TeX Gyre project, and the Symbol font will not benefit from Gyre-ification due to its symbolic (non-text) nature.

Bear in mind that the TeX Gyre project is a font development effort, not a redistribution.
