|
---|
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
|

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.

56 |
|

57 | Valek Filippov added Cyrillic glyphs and composite Latin Extended A to
|
---|
58 | the whole set of the abovementioned URW set of 35 PostScript core fonts,

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
|

|
---|
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

185 | "Please feel free to foreword this mail to your Oriya friends. No
|
---|
186 | copyright law is applied for this font. It is totally free!!! Feel
|
---|
187 | free to modify this using any font editing tools. This is designed for
|
---|
188 | people like me, who are away from Orissa and want to write letters
|
---|
189 | home using Computers, but suffer due to unavailability of Oriya
|
---|

---|
223 |
|
---|
224 | In 1991, Frans Velthuis from the Groningen University, The
|
---|
225 | Netherlands, released a Devanagari font as Metafont source, available
|
---|
226 | under the terms of GNU GPL. Later, Anshuman Pandey from the Washington
|
---|
227 | University, Seattle, USA, took over the maintenance of font. Fonts can
|
---|
228 | be found on CTAN, <ftp://ftp.dante.de/tex-archive/language/devanagari/>. I
|
---|
229 | converted the font to Type 1 format using Péter Szabó's TeXtrace

230 | program <http://www.inf.bme.hu/~pts/textrace/> and removed some

|
---|
248 | Jeroen Hellingman created a set of Malayalam metafonts in 1994, and a
|
---|
249 | set of Oriya metafonts in 1996. Malayalam fonts were created as
|
---|
250 | uniform stroke only, while Oriya metafonts exist in both uniform and
|
---|
251 | modulated stroke. From private communication: "It is my intention to
|
---|
252 | release the fonts under GPL, but not all copies around have this
|

253 | notice on them." Metafonts can be found on CTAN,

275 |
|

294 | Hebrew-speaking Linux and Unix community with a basic collection of

295 | Hebrew fonts for X Windows. The fonts are visually compatible with
|
---|
296 | URW++ Century Schoolbook L, URW++ Nimbus Sans L and URW++ Nimbus Mono

|

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

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

440 | In December 2005 the team at www.gnowledge.org released a set of two
|
---|
441 | Unicode pan-Indic fonts: "Samyak" and "Samyak Sans". "Samyak" font
|

442 | belongs to serif style and is an original work of the team; "Samyak
|
---|
443 | Sans" font belongs to sans serif style and is actually a compilation
|
---|
444 | of already released Indic fonts (Gargi, Padma, Mukti, Utkal, Akruti
|
---|
445 | and ThendralUni). Both fonts are based on Unicode standard. You can
