Name : gfs-gazis-fonts Product : Fedora 8 Version : 20070417 Release : 2.fc8 URL : http://www.greekfontsociety.org/pages/en_typefaces18th.html Summary : GFS Gazis Greek font Description : During the whole of the 18th century the old tradition of using Greek types designed to conform to the Byzantine cursive hand with many ligatures and abbreviations - as it was originated by Aldus Manutius in Venice and consolidated by Claude Garamont (Grecs du Roy) - was still much in practice, although clearly on the wane. GFS Gazis is a typical German example of this practice as it appeared at the end of that era in the 1790's. Its name pays tribute to Anthimos Gazis (1758-1828), one of the most prolific Greek thinkers of the period, who was responsible for writing, translating and editing numerous books, including the editorship of the important Greek periodical Ερμής ο Λόγιος (Litterary Hermes) in Wien. GFS Gazis has been digitally designed by George D. Matthiopoulos. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ChangeLog: -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Updated packages: 31db641a8de955f9700159a3711dec4d476878aa gfs-gazis-fonts-20070417-2.fc8.noarch.rpm c124d16ba1fbf391d7054c30d6c41fb1d4420600 gfs-gazis-fonts-20070417-2.fc8.src.rpm This update can be installed with the "yum" update program.
