## Installation

This package is meant to be installed automatically by TeXLive, MikTeX, etc.
Otherwise, XCharter-Math can be installed under TEXMFHOME or TEXMFLOCAL, f.i.
XCharter-Math.otf in directory texmf-local/fonts/opentype/public/xcharter-math/
and fourier-otf.sty in directory  texmf-local/tex/latex/xcharter-math/.  
Documentation files and their sources can go to directory
texmf-local/doc/fonts/public/xcharter-math/

Don't forget to rebuild the file database (mktexlsr or so) if you install
under TEXMFLOCAL.

Finally, make the system font database aware of the XCharter Math font
(fontconfig under Linux).

  - Added glyphs \nleqqslant and \ngeqqslant (U+E09A, U+E09B).
  - Corrected glyphs \varsubsetneqq \varsusetneqq (U+E09C, U+E09D).
* v0.32:
  - all vertical delimiters resized.
  - \mathslash, \backslash and their vertical variants: slope corrected.
  - xcharter-otf.sty now loads realscripts for better superscripts.
* v0.33:
  - xcharter-otf.sty loads XCharter-Math.otf by file name for XeTeX.
* v0.34:
  - Delimiters, integrals, sum, prod etc. are now vertically
    centred by design on the maths axis (required by luametatex).
* v0.35:
  - Experimental Bold variant added.
  - Fixed \wideoverbar (U+0305) which failed with XeTeX.
  - Corrected negative right bearings of some display integrals.
  - Added stretchable integral for U+222B (usable with luametatex).
* v0.36:
  - package now compatible with mathtools’ stretchable arrows.
  - \diagup and \diagdown moved from private area to U+27CB, U+27CD.
* v0.40:
  - Metrics of all "over" arrows and harpoons corrected.
  - Metrics of all "under" arrows and harpoons corrected.
  - Most horizontal arrows and harpoons are now stretchable.
* v0.41:
  - radicals corrected.
  - xcharter-otf.sty: options handled by `l3keys` instead of `xkeyval` 
    (requires a LaTeX kernel not older than 2022-06-01).
  - XCharter-Math-Bold.otf: missing glyphs added in range
    U+1D400-U+1D7F5 (SE#688363 for KPfonts).
* v0.42:
  - XCharter-Math-Bold.otf: Uppercase Blackboard Bold glyphs added as 
    suggested by Ulrik Vieth.  Glyphs U+2107, U+2126, U+2127, U+212B, 
    U+2132 and U+2141 added too.
* v0.50:
  - XCharter-Math.otf: Digits and Lowercase Blackboard Bold glyphs added; 
    over twenty math symbols added (coverage now similar to Erewhon-Math).
* v0.51:
  - Fixed IsExtendedShape flags.
  - \mid (U+2223) and \parallel (U+2225) vertical variants changed.
  - CharacterVariant=11 added: it replaces the original math italic v 
    by a variant easier to distinguish from \nu.
  - OT features cvNN are now applied before ssty (applied last).
* v0.60:
  - CharacterVariant=12 added: it replaces the original math italic w 
    by a rounder variant to match the v variant (cv11) added in v0.51.
  - Inconsistencies between Bold Caligraphic glyphs and their Regular
    counter-parts fixed.
  - Superscripts redesigned.
  - Inconsistencies between vertical delimiter sizes fixed.
  - Metrics of \widebreve, \widecheck, \widehat, \widetilde first
    horizontal variant (.h0) changed: f.i. $\hat{r} \ne \widehat{r}$.
