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 con-
     figured 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.

CAVEAT
     An unfortunate fact of Groff's design is that it only uses the first
     "download" file it finds in its font directories.  This file is responsi-
     ble for telling grops what fonts it needs to embed in its output.  As a
     result the port is forced to modify the base system's
     /usr/share/groff_font/devps/download.  If you update your system, this
     file will be overwritten, and you will need to re-install the port.  The
     previous version of the file is backed-up as
     /usr/local/share/utopia/download.old, should you need it.  Invoking the
     port's,

     make deinstall

     will remove the lines added by the port.

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 com-
     mercially by Adobe Systems Incorporated in 1989.  In 1992, Adobe contrib-
     uted 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 par-
     ties.

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