+Files for testing kerning in FontForge
+--------------------------------------
+
+These files are used in the Metrics window of FontForge to look how the
+introduced kerning pairs look in the converted fonts in some context. This is
+just about the fonts themselves, not about the TeX support files. Some issues
+might be corrected in the TeX support files (such as the vertical position of
+the accents for composite capital Greek letters).
+
+kern-test-greek.txt
+  This file shows some combinations of accent + capital Greek letter and
+  sometimes compares this to the precomposed accented letter. You can compare
+  the position of accent in the pair accent + letter with the precomposed
+  letter. Even the vertical position of the accent may be different in the
+  pair from the position in the precomposed letter.
+
+  It also shows the accent tonos folowed by a precomposed letter with this
+  accent so that you can easily see if there is some difference in the
+  vertical position of the accent.
+  
+  There are two glyphs for Omega in the fonts and it shows how both of these
+  behave.
+
+kern-word-list-caron.txt
+  This file has some words and character pairs that show the kerning of dcaron
+  or lcaron followed by other letters.
+
+kern-word-list-cyrillic.txt
+  This file shows kerning for some Russian words and groups of Cyrillic
+  letters.
