   8  * URW++ Design & Development GmbH <http://www.urwpp.de/>
   9  
  10  URW++ donated a set of 35 core PostScript Type 1 fonts to the
  11  Ghostscript project <http://www.cs.wisc.edu/~ghost/>, to be available
  12  under the terms of GNU General Public License (GPL).

  23  * Yannis Haralambous <yannis.haralambous AT enst-bretagne.fr> and John
  24    Plaice <plaice AT omega.cse.unsw.edu.au>
  25  
  26  Yannis Haralambous and John Plaice are the authors of Omega typesetting
  27  system, <http://omega.enstb.org/>. Omega is an extension of TeX.
  28  Its first release, aims primarily at improving TeX's multilingual abilities.
  29  In Omega all characters and pointers into data-structures are 16-bit wide,
  30  instead of 8-bit, thereby eliminating many of the trivial limitations of TeX.
  31  Omega also allows multiple input and output character sets, and uses
  32  programmable filters to translate from one encoding to another, to perform
  33  contextual analysis, etc. Internally, Omega uses the universal 16-bit Unicode
  34  standard character set, based on ISO-10646. These improvements not only make
  35  it a lot easier for TeX users to cope with multiple or complex languages,
  36  like Arabic, Indic, Khmer, Chinese, Japanese or Korean, in one document, but
  37  will also form the basis for future developments in other areas, such as
  38  native color support and hypertext features. ... Fonts for UT1 (omlgc family)
  39  and UT2 (omah family) are under development: these fonts are in PostScript
  40  format and visually close to Times and Helvetica font families. 
  41  Omega fonts are available subject to GPL

  65  * Wadalab Kanji Comittee
  66  
  67  Between April 1990 and March 1992, Wadalab Kanji Comittee put together
  68  a series of scalable font files with Japanese scripts, in four forms:
  69  Sai Micho, Chu Mincho, Cho Kaku and Saimaru. The font files are
  70  written in custom file format, while tools for conversion into
  71  Metafont and PostScript Type 1 are also supplied. The Wadalab Kanji
  72  Comittee has later been dismissed, and the resulting files can be now
  73  found on the FTP server of the Depertment of Mathematical Engineering
  74  and Information Physics, Faculty of Engineering, University of Tokyo
  75  <ftp://ftp.ipl.t.u-tokyo.ac.jp/Font/>.

  81  * Young U. Ryu <ryoung AT utdallas.edu>
  82  
  83  Young Ryu is the author of Txfonts, a set of mathematical symbols
  84  designed to accompany text typeset in Times or its variants. In the
  85  documentation, Young adresses the design of mathematical symbols: "The
  86  Adobe Times fonts are thicker than the CM fonts. Designing math fonts
  87  for Times based on the rule thickness of Times = , , + , / , < ,
  88  etc. would result in too thick math symbols, in my opinion. In the TX
  89  fonts, these glyphs are thinner than those of original Times
  90  fonts. That is, the rule thickness of these glyphs is around 85% of
  91  that of the Times fonts, but still thicker than that of the CM fonts."
  92  TX fonts are are distributed under the GNU public license (GPL).

 104  FreeSans and FreeMono.
 105  
 106  Angelo's licence says: "You can enjoy free use of these fonts for
 107  educational or commercial purposes.  All derived works should include

 293  Hebrew-speaking Linux and Unix community with a basic collection of
 294  Hebrew fonts for X Windows. The fonts are visually compatible with
 295  URW++ Century Schoolbook L, URW++ Nimbus Sans L and URW++ Nimbus Mono
 296  L families, respectively, and are released under GNU GPL license. See

 312  Vyacheslav Dikonov made a Braille unicode font that could be merged
 313  with the UCS fonts to fill the 2800-28FF range completely. (uniform
 314  scaling is possible to adapt it to any cell size). He also contributed
 315  a free syriac font, whose glyphs (about half of them) are borrowed
 316  from the "Carlo Ator" font freely downloadable from
 317  <http://www.aacf.asso.fr/>. Vyacheslav also filled in a few missing
 318  spots in the U+2000-U+27FF area, e.g. the box drawing section, sets of
 319  subscript and superscript digits and capital Roman numbers.

 350  * DMS Electronics, The Sri Lanka Tipitaka Project, and Noah Levitt
 351    <nlevitt AT columbia.edu>
 352  
 353  Noah Levitt found out that the Sinhalese fonts available on the site
 354  <http://www.metta.lk/fonts/> are released under GNU GPL, or,
 355  precisely, "Public Domain under GNU Licence
 Produced by DMS
 356  Electronics for The Sri Lanka Tipitaka Project" (taken from the font
 357  comment), and took the effort of recoding the font to Unicode.
 358  
 359  These glyphs were later replaced by those from the LKLUG font
 360  <http://www.lug.lk/fonts/lklug>
 361  
 362  Finally the range was completely replaced by glyphs from the sinh TeX
 363  font, with much help and advice from Harshula Jayasuriya.

 389  `Rachana' in Malayalam means `to write', `to create'. Rachana Akshara Vedi,
 390  a team of socially committed information technology professionals and
 391  philologists, has applied developments in computer technology and desktop
 392  publishing to resurrect the Malayalam language from the disorder,
 393  fragmentation and degeneration it had suffered since the attempt to adapt
 394  the Malayalam script for using with a regular mechanical typewriter, which
 395  took place in 1967-69. K.H. Hussein at the Kerala Forest Research Institute
 396  has released "Rachana Normal" fonts with approximately 900 glyphs required
 397  to typeset traditional Malayalam. R. Chitrajan apparently encoded the
 398  glyphs in the OpenType table.
 399  
 400  In 2008, the Malayalam ranges in FreeSerif were updated under the advise 
 401  and supervision of Hiran Venugopalan of Swathanthra Malayalam Computing,
 402  to reflect the revised edition Rachana_04.

 444  In December 2005 the team at www.gnowledge.org released a set of two
 445  Unicode pan-Indic fonts: "Samyak" and "Samyak Sans". "Samyak" font
 446  belongs to serif style and is an original work of the team; "Samyak
 447  Sans" font belongs to sans serif style and is actually a compilation
 448  of already released Indic fonts (Gargi, Padma, Mukti, Utkal, Akruti
 449  and ThendralUni). Both fonts are based on Unicode standard. You can

 519  * Daniel Johnson
 520  
 521  Created by hand a Cherokee range specially for FreeFont to be "in line with
 522  the classic Cherokee typefaces used in 19th century printing", but also to
 523  fit well with ranges previously in FreeFont.  Then he made Unified Canadian
 524  Syllabics in Sans, and a Cherokee and Kayah Li in Mono!  And never to be
 525  outdone by himself, then did UCAS Extended and Osmanya....  What next?

 542  commissioned Mr. Haralambous to produce a Sinhalese font for them.
 543  
 544  We have received 03/09 official notice from Robert Kiley, Head of e-Strategy
 545  for the Wellcome Library, that Yannis' font could be included in GNU
 546  FreeFont under its GNU license.

 574  Notes:
 575  
 576  *: The glyph collection looks license-compatible, but its author has
 577     not yet replied and agreed on their work being used in part of
 578     this glyph collection.
