  Description     : Avería Sans GWF font family

Avería ("breakdown" or "mechanical damage" in Spanish - related to the root
of the English word "average") is a Unicode typeface family created from the
average of all fonts on the computer of the creator, Dan Sayers. The process
is described at http://iotic.com/averia/. All metrics are the result of an
averaging process. The included glyphs are those that existed in a majority
of the source fonts - which are the following:

Range           Description
U+0020-U+007E   Basic Latin
U+00A0-U+00FF   Latin-1 Supplement

And some glyphs from the following:

Range           Description
U+0100-U+017F   Latin Extended-A
U+0180-U+021F   Latin Extended-B
U+02B0-U+02FF   Spacing Modifier Letters
U+0370-U+03D5   Greek
U+2000-U+2122   General Punctuation
U+2200-U+25CS   Mathematical Operators

Avería Sans GWF exists in Regular, Bold, Italic, Bold Italic, Light and Light
Italic styles - based on the sans-serif subset of the 725 fonts on the
creator's computer.

Legal info:
The Averia Libre families of fonts are based on the average of all 725 fonts
in the Google Web Fonts project, released under the SIL Open Font
License, as of 9 Nov 2011.
The upstream confirm:
"all of the Averîa Libre fonts are strictly composed of the average of
OFL fonts".

thanks
