                     Ayu Bitmap Font
                                               After X-TT Project

  The Ayu bitmap font is an improved version of the 20 dot Kappa
bitmap font and has been created as a subset of the Kochi font.
Apart from the Greek and Cyrillic glyphs, the bitmaps for the
non-Kanji part have been created from the outlines of the Kochi-subst
font and refined manually with a font editor.

  The 20 dot gothic version of the Ayu font has been created
in May and June 2003, the 18 dot gothic version has been created from
1st of July 2003 until 10th of February 2004. Since then,
tuning and refinement continues.

   
  We express our gratitute to Mr. Kano, the author of the Kappa font
which has been used as the base, to Mr. Furukawa who created the
non-Kanji outlines of the Kochi-subst font and to all others
who helped with this software.

  The Ayu bitmap font is public domain. Commercial use, non-commercial
use, all changes to the font, reproduction, distribution is free.
