Summary description: PostScript versions of the ESSTIX fonts, with virtual fonts a LaTeX support files for use as math alphabets.
License type: lppl
Announcement text:
These are the original ESSTIX fonts in PostScript format. They seem to have been a precursor to the STIX project and were donated by Elsevier to that project. The accompanying virtual fonts with customized metrics and LaTeX support files allow their use as calligraphic, fraktur and double-struck (blackboard bold) in math mode. The support files are all LPPL but the fonts themselves are copyrighted by Elsevier, though donated to the STIX project. It is unclear to me if this means they should now be considered as covered by the same SIL Font license under which the STIX fonts were released.
This package is located at http://mirror.ctan.org/fonts/esstix . More information is at http://www.ctan.org/pkg/esstix (if the package is new it may take a day for that information to appear).

Thanks for the upload. For the CTAN Team Rainer Schöpf
