The names of the fonts in this package have been changed.  The
upstream uses the same names as the fonts in the package gsfonts.  If
I used the same names this would make imposible to use together both
packages.  So when I created the Debian packages I decided to use
other names, namely the names used by Adobe.

Afterwards I was pointed that am not allowed to use these names as
they are trademarks.  Now all new font names start with the word
`Free', it ensures the uniqueness of them.  The other part of the
names are dictionary English words, this ensures that no part of the
names is a registered trademark.

I have contacted the upstream maintainer in order to ask him how to
call the fonts, but unfortunately he went on a journey and was not
able to answer me.  Now a few months later I decided to upload new
packages to Debian with names choosed by me as the packages still use
registered trademarks.  It is possible however that in future I will
take into account the preferences of the upstream maintainer.

Note that /etc/X11/fonts/Type1/t1-cyrillic.alias contains commented
lines which if uncommented define the old font names as aliases.

This table summarizes the fontname changings:

Current Debian name       Old Debian name         Upstream name
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Free Times                Times                   Nimbus Roman No9 L
Free Helvetian            Helvetica               Nimbus Sans L
Free Helvetian Condensed  Helvetica [*]           Nimbus Sans L [*]
Free Courier              Courier                 Nimbus Mono L
Free Schoolbook           New Century Schoolbook  Century Schoolbook L
Free Avant Garde          Avant Garde Gothic      URW Gothic L
Free Bookman              Bookman                 URW Bookman L
Free Paladin              Palatino                URW Palladio L
Free Chancery             Chancery                URW Chancery L

[*] The narrowed versions of `Helvetica' are packaged with family
`Free Helvetian Condensed'.  This is so because many applications seam
to ignore fonts with width != normal when fonts with width == normal
are present.

Changes to the fonts in the Debian packages:

    1. The fonts are converted to PFB format.
    2. The fonts n??????l are renamed to n??????d to avoid the name
       collision with the fonts from the package gsfonts.
    3. The PostScript names of the fonts and n??????d are
       changed.  For example NimbusSanL-ReguItal became
       NimbusSanWINC-ReguItal.  This is made to avoid the name
       collision with the fonts from the package gsfonts.
    4. Lower case letters are used in the names of the fonts.
