+Information about this directory
+--------------------------------
+
+Please only include fonts in this directory can be distributed by the Project
+and can be used used to generate content to be distributed at the website
+(PDF, ePUBs, etc.). Please note that the SVN repository is publicly accesible
+and fonts which are not freely distributable should *not* be included here.
+
+This directory currently holds:
+
+ - The Carlito font -> used to generate the Freeway Warrior ePubs
+
+
+Fonts used in Project Aon
+-------------------------
+
+The Lone Wolf and World of Lone Wolf books were originally published using the
+Souvenir font. Whileas the Freeway Warrior books were published using the
+Melior font.
+
+The Project Aon tries to use, whenever possible, the original fonts when
+providing the books in digital format in order to give the new readers of the
+books the same "feeling" readers had when the original books where published.
+
+However, licensing limitations with the fonts prevent sometimes us from being
+able to deliver the fonts in all the content we publish at the website.
+
+Lone Wolf series - Souvenir font
+--------------------------------
+
+In May 2011, Project Aon purchased a "Preview and Print" license for the ITC
+Souvenir Light and Demi OpenType fonts for use with Project Aon. This is a
+5-user license. Should you require this font to create content to be
+distributed at the website please contact Jonathan blake.
+
+The purchased license can be used in graphics, PDFs, and similar content, but
+cannot be provided as a web font, as the license that the Project has no
+permission for it. The Project has looked into purchasing a license for web
+distribution, but this option has been ruled out due to its costs.
+
+
+Freeway Warrior - Melior font
+------------------------------
+
+The Freeway warrior series used the Melior font, but the Project does not have
+any license to distribute this font.
+
+The ePUBS for Freeway Warrior have been generated with the Carlito font which
+is available in this directory.
+
+Fonts in Website content
+-----------------------
+
+In the website, the fonts shown to the user are defined in the CSS definition.
+
+For the Lone Wolf series they are currently the following (in order of preference):
+
+ Souvenir
+ Georgia
+ Times New Roman
+ Times
+ Serif
+
+Souvenir is not necesarily available in end user systems, but Georgia is
+commonly supplied with Operating Systems nowadays. To our knowledge it is
+distributed in the following Operating systems by default:
+Microsoft Windows 2000, Microsoft Windows XP, MacOS X and possibly even in
+older operating systems (such as Windows 95/98 where it could be supplied with
+Internet Explorer 4+)
+
+GNU/Linux based operating systems might not support the Georgia fonts by
+default but, in some cases, they can be provided by external downloads. For
+example, Debian and Ubuntu users can install the 'ttf-mscorefonts-installer'
+installer package which downloads the fonts from available mirrors and
+installs them in the system transparently to the user
+
+Note:
+ - In September 2006 it was proposed to include Gentium to the list following some
+ tests, as this open source font is available
+
+ - In August 2010 it was proposed to change the font listing due to the fact that the
+ "Souvenir" font name was not ever commercially used.
+
+In the future, the font listing might change the main.css to:
+
+font-family: "Souvenir Lt BT", "Souvenir LT", Souvenir, Georgia, Georgia, "Times New Roman", Times, serif;
+
+Due to the licensing costs of fonts for web site used the Project has ruled
+out the possibility of providing the font directly to end users. Users wishing
+to read the books with the original font are free to buy it and install it in
+their computer systems.
+(For more information on licensing see:
+https://www.fonts.com/font/itc/itc-souvenir/licenses)
+
+
+For the Freeway Warrior series, the following fonts are used (in order of
+preference):
+
+ Calibiri
+ "Lucida Grande"
+ Verdana
+ Trebuchet
+ Arial
+ Helvetica
+ sans-serif
