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.
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.
