I don't know that everyone here would be a native english speaker :) 
But then spelling mistakes shouldn't occur. IMHO, what Vladimir might
have intended is:


Description: A collection of Type1 fonts used with TeX-like tools in pdf 
 generation [ex. pdftex]. Type1 fonts are provided with LaTeX
 (the bluesky font colelction) but they do not cover European language
 glyphs. This package attempts to fill this void.


I'm sure my distription can be improved further, but I think it's good 
enough.. Vladimir would have improved his description before he actually 
released his package, right? ;-]
