+Version: 1.9
+22 November 2002
+
+This set of fonts provides a 12pt, 100dpi proportional font with many of
+the glyphs needed for Unicode text. I call the typeface "ClearlyU" and
+it was influenced by Donald Knuth's Computer Modern.
+
+The fonts together contain 9538 glyphs at the moment. This does not include
+cuarabic12.bdf and cudevnag12.bdf which contain glyphs from cu12.bdf and and
+cu-pua12.bdf.
+
+Information about this font and samples, are located at:
+
+ http://crl.nmsu.edu/~mleisher/cu.html
