Hello,

I would like to request the creation and inclusion of a package for 
font 'Gelasio' into TeX Live. Gelasio [1] is a font published under 
the OFL 1.1 and mimics Microsoft's Georgia font to which its metrics 
are compatible.
As such, Gelasio is a legal drop-in if documents have to be created 
on non-Microsoft systems where the requirement is to 'use Georgia'.

The package should ideally ship both OpenType font files for use 
with Lua(La)TeX and Xe(La)TeX as well as all the magical files to 
make it work with pdf(La)TeX. The user, irrespective of TeX flavour, 
would only need to issue
\usepackage{gelasio}
or equivalent.

Thank you for considering this request!

Greetings,
Thomas Fischer
