COPYRIGHT AND LICENSING
------------------------------------------------------------
The images TopLeft.jpg and BottomRight.jpg are taken from the Projekt
Digitale Liederhandschrift of the Th�ringer Universit�ts- und
Landesbibliothek, Jena, which can be found on

The font software is Copyright (c) 2012, Gereon Kaiping
(anaphory@yahoo.de) and is licensed under the SIL Open Font License,
Version 1.1, with Reserved Font Name Jena1330. This implies, among
other things, that the font software can be freely used. The full text
of the license is copied below.

The example text VrowenlopAlexander is taken from the Jenaer
Liederhandschrift. The author, Heinrich Frauenlob of Meissen, has been
dead for more than 70 years, so the text is in the public domain.

NOTES
------------------------------------------------------------

Jena1330 is made with FontForge (http://fontforge.org) and is
presented here in FontForge plaintext directory (.sfdir) format.  To
build a version of Jena1330 that can be used with LaTeX, run
./BuildAndInstall in this directory. This will create a work/
directory containing all files needed to use the font in LaTeX as well
as compiling an example LaTeX document showing Jena1330 in action.
The BuildAndInstall script requires the following software to run:

- A sh compatible shell (BuildAndInstall is an sh script)
- FontForge to convert the the font software from the sfdir format
  into a Postscript Type-1 font
- The perl script mkligtable to create a working ligature table for
  LaTeX
- tftopl (available with your LaTeX distribution) to generate all
  other data required in the plaintext font metric file
- pltotf (also from your LaTeX distribution) to convert the combined
  pl and ligtable file back into tfm for use with LaTeX
- pdflatex to generate an example pdf document.

Alternatively, FontForge can be used to convert the sfdir directory
into other font formats, such as otf.

PREAMBLE

The goals of the Open Font License (OFL) are to stimulate worldwide

fonts, including any derivative works, can be bundled, embedded,
redistributed and/or sold with any software provided that any reserved
names are not used by derivative works. The fonts and derivatives,
however, cannot be released under any other type of license. The
requirement for fonts to remain under this license does not apply to
any document created using the fonts or their derivatives.
