Karl Berry submitted the

gentium-sil

package.

Version: 6.200
License: ofl

Summary description: A complete Greek font with Latin and Cyrillic, too

Announcement text:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

This new gentium-sil package replaces the previous gentium-tug;
gentium-sil is a redistribution of the original SIL release
(https://software.sil.org/gentium/), with no changes of any kind.

Specifically, it is no longer feasible to continue with the
conversion of Gentium to Type 1 that was the purpose of gentium-tug. The
original character definitions have intersecting splines, and there is
no way to reliably convert them to Type 1. My summary of the situation:
https://tug.org/pipermail/gentium/2024q4/000072.html

Therefore all we can do here is redistribute the original TrueType
fonts. (If anyone would like to come forward to create the necessary
support files for pdftex to use the TrueType fonts, that would be welcome.)

Any issues and discussion about the redistribution on CTAN, etc., can be
sent to the gentium@tug.org mailing list (archives and subscription at
https://lists.tug.org/gentium). Problems with the fonts themselves
should be reported to SIL; see info at
https://software.sil.org/gentium/support.

Herbert Voss expects to release a companion gentium-ttf support package
soon to provide convenient access to the font features provided in Gentium.
