* URW++ Design & Development GmbH <http://www.urwpp.de/> |
|
|
|
URW++ donated a set of 35 core PostScript Type 1 fonts to the |
|
Ghostscript project <http://www.ghostscript.com/>, to be available |
|
under the terms of GNU General Public License (GPL). |

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

|
|
Valek Filippov added Cyrillic glyphs and composite Latin Extended A to |
|
the whole set of the abovementioned URW set of 35 PostScript core fonts, |
|
<ftp://ftp.gnome.ru/fonts/>. The fonts are available under GPL. |

* Wadalab Kanji Comittee |
|
|
|
Between April 1990 and March 1992, Wadalab Kanji Comittee put together a |
|
series of scalable font files with Japanese scripts, in four forms: |
|
Sai Micho, Chu Mincho, Cho Kaku and Saimaru. |
|
The font files are written in custom file format, while tools for conversion |
|
into Metafont and PostScript Type 1 are also supplied. The Wadalab Kanji |
|
Comittee was later dismissed. The resulting files were once found on the FTP |
|
server of the Department of Mathematical Engineering and Information Physics, |
|
Faculty of Engineering, University of Tokyo. Some of these are available at |
|

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

|
|
|
Angelo Haritsis has compiled a set of Greek Type 1 fonts, once available as |
|
as a tarball named greekXfonts-Type1-1.1.tgz. |
|
The glyphs from this source have been used to compose Greek glyphs in |
|
FreeSans and FreeMono. |
|
|
|
Angelo's licence says: "You can enjoy free use of these fonts for |
|
educational or commercial purposes. All derived works should include |
|
this paragraph. If you want to change something please let me have |
|
your changes (via email) so that they can go into the next |

with the UCS fonts to fill the 2800-28FF range completely. (uniform |
|
scaling is possible to adapt it to any cell size). He also contributed |
|
a free syriac font, whose glyphs (about half of them) are borrowed |
|
from the "Carlo Ator" font by Tim Erickson. |
|
Vyacheslav also filled in a few missing |

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

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

Unicode pan-Indic fonts: "Samyak" and "Samyak Sans". "Samyak" font |

belongs to serif style and is an original work of the team; "Samyak |

Sans" font belongs to sans serif style and is actually a compilation |
|
of already released Indic fonts (Gargi, Padma, Mukti, Utkal, Akruti |

and ThendralUni). Both fonts are based on Unicode standard. |

Analecta: Gothic (U+10330-U+1034F) |

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

In 1994, The Wellcome Library |
|
The Wellcome Institute for the History of Medicine |
|
183 Euston Road, London NW1 2BE, England. |
|
commissioned Mr. Haralambous to produce a Sinhalese font for them. |
|
|
|
We have received 03/09 official notice from Robert Kiley, Head of e-Strategy |
|
for the Wellcome Library, that Yannis' font could be included in GNU |
|
FreeFont under its GNU license. |
|

|
Thanks to Dominik Wujastyk, for providing us with feedback and contacts |
|
to repsonsible people at the Trust. |
