Type 1 versions of STIX 2.0.0 (deprecated)
If you are using XeTeX or luaTeX, you do not need the files in this directory. The STIX Two fonts are OpenType fonts and are best used in that format.
The stix2 package provides support for versions of TeX that are limited to TFM files, Type 1 PostScript fonts, and 8-bit font encodings. Version 2.0.0 of the STIX fonts are being released in this format in hopes of easing the transition from legacy TeX engines to modern fully Unicode-compatible systems. The Type 1 versions are merely a repackaging of the original OpenType versions and should not be viewed as independent entities. Some glyphs that are traditionally available in TeX math fonts are not yet available in the STIX Two OpenType fonts. In such cases, we have chosen to omit them from the stix2 package rather than create incompatibilities between the OpenType and Type 1 versions.
Note that although development of the OpenType fonts is ongoing, no further updates are planned to the Type 1 distribution; future development efforts will focus on improving the OpenType fonts. Patches to the existing Type 1 distribution are welcome and, pending review, will be incorporated into the distribution.
For ease of installation a zip file with a TDS-compliant directory structure is included.
