On Tue, 12 Oct 2010 Staszek Wawrykiewicz submitted an update to the
poltawski
font package.
> Package: Antykwa Poltawskiego fonts
> Version: 1.101
> Date: Oct 9 2010
> Authors: Bogus\l{}aw Jackowski and Janusz M. Nowacki
> License: GUST Font License
> Location on CTAN: fonts/poltawski
>
> Maintenance status "maintained". The Current Maintainer
> of this work is Bogus\l{}aw Jackowski and Janusz M. Nowacki.
>
> The package contains the Antykwa P\'o{\l}tawskiego family of fonts in the
> PostScript Type 1 and OpenType formats.
> The original font was designed in the twenties of the XX century by
> the Polish typographer Adam P\'o{\l}tawski (1881-1952).
>
> Following the route set out by the Latin Modern and TeX Gyre projects
> (http://www.gust.org.pl/projects/e-foundry), the Antykwa Poltawskiego
> digitisation project aims at providing a rich collection of
> diacritical characters in the attempt to cover as many Latin-based
> scripts as possible. To our knowledge, the repertoire of characters
> covers all European languages as well as some other Latin-based
> alphabets such as Vietnamese and Navajo; at the request of users,
> recent extensions (following the enhancement of the Latin Modern
> collection) provide glyphs sufficient for typesetting of romanized
> transliterations of Arabic and Sanskrit scripts.
>
> The Antykwa Poltawskiego family consists of 4 weights (light,
> normal, medium, bold), each having upright and italic forms and one
> of 5 design sizes: 6, 8, 10, 12 and 17pt (in the OTF lingo: extended,
> semiextended, normal, semicondensed, and condensed, respectively).
> Altogether, the collection comprises 40 font files,
> containing the same repertoire of 1126 characters.
>
> Recent changes:
> Ver 1.101: 09.10.2010
> mistakenly missing `smcp' (small caps) feature and stylistic alternatives
> added in OTF files; altered implementation of the `numr', `dnom', `frac',
> and `dlig' features; other font files remained essentially intact (only
> version number changed).
Thanks for the upload.
