Package: wnpp Severity: wishlist * Package name : ttf-anonymous-pro Version : 1.001 Upstream Author : Mark Simonson <m...@ms-studio.com> * URL : http://www.ms-studio.com/FontSales/anonymouspro.html * License : SIL Open Font License Description : A fixed-width sans-serif font designed especially for coders
Anonymous Pro is a family of four fixed-width fonts designed especially with coding in mind. Characters that could be mistaken for one another (O, 0, I, l, 1, etc.) have distinct shapes to make them easier to tell apart in the context of source code. Anonymous Pro also features an international, Unicode-based character set, with support for most Western and European Latin-based languages, Greek, and Cyrillic. It also includes special "box drawing" characters for those who need them. </long-description> I spoke with Mark Simonson previously about releasing his freeware font Anonymous Pro as FOSS. He had apparently considered the idea before that as well. I just discovered that Mark generously released Anonymous Pro under the Open Font License recently. To encourage widespread usage and distribution of this excellent font, I've filed this RFP requesting a package for Debian. Thank you, Mark! And thank you to whoever ends up packaging this for Debian. - Josh Triplett -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-wnpp-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
