+********************** About Tibetan Machine Uni File *****************************
+
+Author: Than Garson
+Date: August 18, 2004
+Organization: Tibetan & Himalayan Digital Library (http://thdl.org)
+
+The SoureForge CVS folder, thdltools/Fonts/TibetanMachineUni, contains the alpha version of the
+Tibetan Machine Uni font, which is an OpenType, Unicode version of the original Tibetan Machine font.
+The original font, Tibetan Machine, was designed and created by Tony Duff of the Tibetan Computer company (http://www.tibet.dk/tcc/).
+Tibetan Machine was purchased and made available to the public under the GNU Public License by the Trace Foundation (http://trace.org/).
+This suite of fonts was converted into a single OpenType Unicode font by the Than Garson of the Tibetan & Himalayan Digital Library 
+and Chris Fynn. Tibetan Machine Uni is also governed by the GPL (http://www.gnu.org/copyleft/gpl.html). 
+
+The folder contains several versions of the font plus the table data imbedded in the font with the OpenType rendering instructions.
+The following files have been included:
+
+	* TibetanMachineUniAlpha.ttf - This is the "shipped" True Type version of the font with all production tables removed. 
+				       It functions as a regular font but the user cannot view the lookup tables.
+	
+	* TibetanMachineUniAlphaFL.vfb - This is the FontLab file from which the True Type font was created. 
+
+	* TibetanMachineUniAlphaVolt.ttf - This is the True Type version of the font WITH the production tables embedded. 
+					   One can view these tables through using Microsoft's VOLT program.
+					   VOLT stands for Visual OpenType Layout Tool. For details, see:
+					   http://www.microsoft.com/typography/developers/volt/default.htm 
+
+	* TableData [folder] - This folder contains the data exported from VOLT that makes up the OpenType Layout tables.
+			       It contains the following files and folders:
+
+		* TMUniAlphaGlyphs.vtd - This is the glyph-definition table that assigns names and types to the glyphs 
+					 based on their index number.
+
+		* GlyphGroups [folder] - This folder contains 24 tables that define the glyph groups within VOLT.
+					 The files are named as they appear in the VOLT interface.
+
+		* Lookups [folder] - This folder contains 27 tables the define the lookups within VOLT.
+
+The naming of the glyphg roups is based on the following abbreviations:
+
+	U - refers to a group that takes a certain "u" or zhabs kyu.
+
+	V - refers to a group that takes a certain set of (subscribed) vowels that are all at the same height.
+
+	N - means "negative" because the minus sign cannot be used in a group name.
+	
+	B - means an alternative set of glyphs
+
+	### - numbers in the name refer to the height of the vowel or zhabs kyu used.
+
+Example: VN324GLYPHS.vtg - is a group of glyphs which take vowels at the height of -324.
+	 U0BGLYPHS.vtg - is a group of glyphs which take an alternate zhabs kyu whose height is the baseline (0). 
+			 The zhabs kyu glyph is itself called uni0F74.alt0b.
+
+The names of the vowel glphys in FontLab and in Volt were created in the following way: "uni" + hex unicode + ".alt" + height.
+Thus, "uni0F71.altN180" is the subscribed a-chung whose uppermost height is -180. In this way, the glyph groups are named in a 
+way that easily corresponds them to the appropriate vowel glyphs. Because there was greater variety of zhabs kyus (u) in the 
+original fonts, these have sometimes required a second layer of lookups to apply the most appropriate version.
+
+The Lookup tables follow the same naming procedure, except that they do not have "GLYPHS" appended at the end of their names. Thus,
+"V252.vtl" contains the lookups for substituting vowels whose max height is 252. Of course, these lookups are applied to the
+"V252GLYPHS.vtg" glyph group, and so on.
