Levien Museum fonts

Museum serif fonts

Description
The Museum fonts are a rough work-in-progress, based on historical metal Centaur fonts.

Museum Sixty is based on 60 point metal Monotype Centaur. The source for A-Z& is the specimen page opening American Proprietary Typefaces, ed. David Pankow. The primary source for the lowercase is the original Centaur specimen booklet by Lanston Monotype, London, 1929.

Museum Fourteen is based on 14 point metal Monotype Centaur. The primary source is the text of Americal Proprietary Typefaces.

Museum Bible is based on 18 point metal Bible Centaur. The source is the booklet, "An Account of the Making of the Oxford Lectern Bible", Lanston Monotype, Philadelphia, 1936.

Museum Foundry is based on the 14 point original foundry version of Centaur, as cut by Robert Wiebking of Chicago. The source is "Amycus et Célestin", printed at the Museum Press in New York, 1916.

Caveats

 * 1) Please do not forget to include the appropriate fontconfig rules to the package
 * 2) Please build the fonts from the sources published
 * 3) Please ask upstream for a proper versionned source archive
 * 4) Please package the four different fonts in different subpackages. They can depend on a common doc subpackage
