GNU FreeFont
|
||||
|
||||
The GNU FreeFont project aims to provide a useful set of free scalable
|
||||
(i.e., OpenType) fonts covering as much as possible of the ISO 10646/Unicode
|
||||
UCS (Universal Character Set).
|
||||
|
||||
Statement of Purpose
|
||||
--------------------
|
||||
|
||||
The practical reason for putting glyphs together in a single font face is
|
||||
to conveniently mix symbols and characters from different writing systems,
|
||||
without having to switch fonts.
|
||||
|
||||
Coverage
|
||||
--------
|
||||
|
||||
FreeFont covers the following character ranges
|
||||
* Latin, Cyrillic, and Arabic, with supplements for many languages
|
||||
* Greek, Hebrew, Armenian, Georgian, Thaana, Syriac
|
||||
* Devanagari, Bengali, Gujarati, Gurmukhi, Sinhala, Tamil, Malayalam
|
||||
* Thai, Tai Le, Kayah Li, Hanunóo, Buginese
|
||||
* Cherokee, Unified Canadian Aboriginal Syllabics
|
||||
* Ethiopian, Tifnagh, Vai, Osmanya, Coptic
|
||||
* Glagolitic, Gothic, Runic, Ugaritic, Old Persian, Phoenician, Old Italic
|
||||
* Braille, International Phonetic Alphabet
|
||||
* currency symbols, general punctuation and diacritical marks, dingbats
|
||||
* mathematical symbols, including much of the TeX repertoire of symbols
|
||||
* technical symbols: APL, OCR, arrows,
|
||||
* geometrical shapes, box drawing
|
||||
* musical symbols, gaming symbols, miscellaneous symbols
|
||||
etc.
|
||||

||||
|
||||
Editing
|
||||
-------
|
||||
|
||||
The free outline font editor, George Williams' FontForge
|
||||
<http://fontforge.sourceforge.net/> is used for editing the fonts.
|
||||
|
||||
Design Issues
|
||||
-------------
|
||||
|
||||
Which font shapes should be made? Historical style terms like Renaissance
|
||||
or Baroque letterforms cannot be applied beyond Latin/Cyrillic/Greek
|
||||
scripts to any greater extent than Kufi or Nashki can be applied beyond
|
||||
Arabic script; "italic" is strictly meaningful only for Latin letters,
|
||||
although many scripts such as Cyrillic have a history with "cursive" and
|
||||
many others with "oblique" faces.
|
||||
|
||||
However, most modern writing systems have typographic formulations for
|
||||
contrasting uniform and modulated character stroke widths, and since the
|
||||
advent of the typewriter, most have developed a typographic style with
|
||||
uniform-width characters.
|
||||
|
||||
Accordingly, the FreeFont family has one monospaced - FreeMono - and two
|
||||
proportional faces (one with uniform stroke - FreeSans - and one with
|
||||
modulated stroke - FreeSerif).
|
||||
|
||||
The point of having characters from different writing systems in one font
|
||||
is that mixed text should look good, and so each FreeFont face contains
|
||||
characters of similar style and weight.
|
||||
|
||||

As a special exception, if you create a document which uses this font, and
|
||||
embed this font or unaltered portions of this font into the document, this
|

font does not by itself cause the resulting document to be covered by the
|
||||
GNU General Public License. This exception does not however invalidate any
|
||||
other reasons why the document might be covered by the GNU General Public
|
||||
License. If you modify this font, you may extend this exception to your
|
||||
version of the font, but you are not obligated to do so. If you do not
|
||||
wish to do so, delete this exception statement from your version.
|
||||
|
||||
Files and their suffixes
|
||||
------------------------
|
||||
|
||||
The files with .sfd (Spline Font Database) are in FontForge's native format.
|
||||
They may be used to modify the fonts.
|
||||
|
||||
TrueType fonts are the files with the .ttf (TrueType Font) suffix. These
|
||||
are ready to use in Linux/Unix, on Apple Mac OS, and on Microsoft Windows
|
||||
systems.
|
||||
|
||||
OpenType fonts (with suffix .otf) are preferred for use on Linux/Unix,
|
||||
but *not* for recent Microsoft Windows systems.
|
||||
See the INSTALL file for more information.
|
||||
|
||||
Web Open Font Format files (with suffix .woff) are for use in Web sites.
|
||||
See the webfont_guidelines.txt for further information.
