 * Changed kerning pair between D and V from positive to negative value (where
   appropriate).
+
+
+Remarks
+=======
+
+* The converted italic fonts have all the 63 extra Greek kerning pairs. The
+  upright fonts have less (GentiumPlus-Regular has currently 44 pairs). This
+  is not an error. Some pairs like 'tonos' + 'Epsilon' would have the kerning
+  equal to 0 and these zeroes are eliminated in the script.
+
+* The characters like Alphatonos are created from the base letter (Alpha) and
+  the accent (tonos). The combined character defines the relative horizontal
+  position of the accent and character. However, there is also non-zero
+  relative *vertical* position between these two. That means that e.g. tonos is
+  not in the same height in the combined character as it is when tonos is
+  alone. The result should be checked!
