Color indices and reddening-free Q-parameters in the Vilnius photometric system of B-type stars of all luminosities and A-supergiants are calibrated in terms of effective temperature and surface gravity, using synthetic spectra of the newest Kurucz model atmospheres. The calibration is verified by comparing the photometrically determined effective temperatures and surface gravities with the most accurate spectroscopic data. Satisfactory agreement has been found, proving the accuracy of the calibration within +/- 0.02 to +/- 0.05 dex in log Te and +/- 0.2 to +/- 0.3 dex in log g.
