- 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 sets
-
-* ISO 8859 parts 1-15
-* CEN MES-3 European Unicode Subset
- http://www.evertype.com/standards/iso10646/pdf/cwa13873.pdf
-* IBM/Microsoft code pages 437, 850, 852, 1250, 1252 and more
-* Microsoft/Adobe Windows Glyph List 4 (WGL4)
- http://www.microsoft.com/typography/otspec/WGL4.htm
-* KOI8-R and KOI8-RU
-* DEC VT100 graphics symbols
-* International Phonetic Alphabet
-* Arabic, Hebrew, Armenian, Georgian, Ethiopian and Thai alphabets,
- including Arabic presentation forms A/B
-* mathematical symbols, including the whole TeX repertoire of symbols
-* APL symbols
- etc.
-
-Editing
--------
-
-The free outline font editor, George Williams's 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 really only meaningful for Latin letters.
-
-However, most modern writing systems have typographic formulations for
-contrasting uniform and modulated character stroke widths, and have some
-history with "oblique", faces. 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).
-
-To make text from different writing systems look good side-by-side, each
-FreeFont face is meant to contain characters of similar style and weight.

-
-
-Files and their suffixes
-------------------------
-
-The files with .sfd (Spline Font Database) are in FontForge's native format.
-Please use these if you plan to modify the font files.
-
-TrueType fonts for immediate consumption are the files with the .ttf
-(TrueType Font) suffix. These are ready to use in Xwindows based
-systems using FreeType, on Mac OS, and on older Windows systems.
-
-OpenType fonts (with suffix .otf) are for use in Windows Vista.
-Note that although they can be installed on Linux, but many applications
-in Linux still don't support them.
