They were designed to be compatible with the Times font. openSUSE contains the 1.0 version of the font; however, the 1.1 version is much more usable in normal applications and also in XeTeX/LUATeX. Currently, only the 1.1beta1 is available; given that the application support is much better, one should consider updating now; however, one might also wait for a new beta or until the final release is available. However, given the past experience, updates are relatively slow and the estimated dates were other very optimistic. (Current statement: "The beta period will remain open until December 1, 2011.") See http://www.stixfonts.org/ -- The font itself is available at http://sourceforge.net/projects/stixfonts/files/STIXv1.1.0-beta1.zip/downloa...
From the release notes:
"What is new in this release? The original Version 1.0 STIX was packaged as 29 distinct font files. Version 1.1.0-‐beta1 provides the same set of glyphs packaged as a set of 4 text fonts and 1 symbol font. This new packaging will facilitate the use of the font on more desktop applications, and will specifically allow the symbol font to be used in recent versions of the Microsoft Word Equation Editor." "In addition, an update was made to address compatibility issues between the font set and the Windows PostScript driver." Besides those changes, some a (very) few glyphs have been added and some smaller changes have been done. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
