ABOUT

Ralf Stubner

German designer of these typefaces in a package called FPL fonts: TeXPalladioL-SC, TeXPalladioL-ItalicOsF, TeXPalladioL-BoldOsF, TeXPalladioL-BoldItalicOsF (2004), also called fplrc8a, fplrij8a, fplbj8a, and fplbij8a. The author explains: The FPL Fonts provide a set of SC/OsF fonts for URW Palladio L which are compatible with respect to metrics with the Palatino SC/OsF fonts from Adobe. Note that it is not my aim to exactly reproduce the outlines of the original Adobe fonts. The SC and OsF in the FPL Fonts were designed with the glyphs from URW Palladio L as starting point. For some glyphs (eg 'o') I got the best result by scaling and boldening. For others (eg 'h') shifting selected portions of the character gave more satisfying results. All this was done using the free font editor FontForge. The kerning data in these fonts comes from Walter Schmidt's improved Palatino metrics.
