This file provides detailed information on the "LauHoWi-a"
Font Software.
This information should be distributed along with the
"LauHoWi-a" font and any derivative works.

Basic Font Information

Possibly asked questions and answers to them:

Where does the name "LauHoWi" come from?

   LauHoWi is an abbreviation of the names of the authors of this font
   family.
   -a has been added, as additional font families were intended to be
   created.

Purpose of this font project

   The purpose of this font project is to have a font for writing und
   to preserve the calligraphic genius of Laurin Holewann.

What characters are actually included in this release?

   Actually LauHoWi-a covers some 400 commonly-used Roman characters.

   Pairwise kerning of 532 pairs of glyphs has been realized.

   A text edition of all this pairwise kerning is included within the release package.

Which font files exist?

   LauHoWi-a remains the only font family of this font project.

Can I use LauHoWi-a font in my print publication?

   LauHoWi-a font is released under the SIL Open Font License (see
   http://scripts.sil.org/OFL), which permits use for any publication,
   whether electronic or printed. For more answers to usage questions,
   see the OFL-FAQ (http://scripts.sil.org/OFL-FAQ).
   The license applying to LauHoWi-a font is in the release package:
   OFL, as well as the actual OFL-FAQ.txt (version 1.1-update5).

Can I use the font LauHoWi-a on my website?

   Yes. You can create web pages that require the use of the font
   LauHoWi-a in order to display them (if that font is available on the
   users system). In accordance with the license, you are even allowed
   to place the font on your site for people to download it. We would
   strongly recommend, however, that you direct users to our site -
   http://www.wolfgang-wiebecke-kultur.de/lauhowi.html - to download
   LauHoWi-a. This ensures that they are always using the most recent
   version containing current bug fixes, etc.

Can I make changes to LauHoWi-a Font family?

   Yes! That is allowed as long as you abide by the conditions of the
   SIL Open Font License (http://scripts.sil.org/OFL). We would be very
   interested in seeing any changes you might make.

   We kindly request that you inform us of any new Font families which
   are derived from this font project and let us know how you have
   constructed them. We would be pleased to test them, put them on our
   site and change the FONTLOG in favour of them.

   Additionally, OFL allows Copyright Holders to give an explicit
   written permission to a specific trusted partner to use Reserved
   Font Name(s). Thus, fonts including improvements and contributions
   may be released as new versions of Original Fonts. For doing so,
   software and/or IT skill are needed which actually are not available
   for creating or improving our font LauHoWi-a.

   If the appearance of composite glyphs, such as an ibreve or similar
   glyphs which are not found in German Language, prove to be too
   narrow or too broad, please get in touch with us.

   Also please get in touch with us if you desire to contribute a stack
   of foreign language glyphs that will be supported by plattforms
   included within our font files.

   Provided your drawings are going to match to the style and to the
   type of LauHoWi-a, and you are able to provide your drawings in the
   format of .bmp drawings, we would try and find a consense with you
   about the extents and the properties of drawings as needed for
   including them within our font file and by which transfer way we
   would be able to receive your data.

Known Issues

   We know of the following problems. Please report any others you may
   encounter:

   The drawings for this font have been created manually by
   Laurin Holewann. Any similarities to any other existing fonts are
   purely accidental and unintentional. 

   We estimate that, additionally, for several pairs of glyphs it will
   prove as necessary to establish pairwise kerning and that the margin
   settings for several glyphs will have to be correctified.
