Hi devs,

I almost finished implementing http://jira.xwiki.org/jira/browse/XWIKI-1609
What remains to be done, is to find a good font to embed in XWiki.

The best candidate would be the one from the StixFonts project, but that one is 
not yet released 
(delayed several years, now apparently is in the packaging stage; the expected 
date is August, but 
given the history of their release dates, it's more likely sometime in the 
winter or even next year).

The next best candidate is FreeFont 
(http://savannah.gnu.org/projects/freefont/), but that one is 
GPL, and doesn't have complete support for asian characters.

The third best candidate is an extended version of Computer Modern 
(http://canopus.iacp.dvo.ru/~panov/cm-unicode/), which is distributed under the 
X11 license, but it 
is less complete than FreeFont.

For the moment, I'd be in favor of including the FreeFont, but we need to see 
if a GPL font can be 
redistributed or not, and maybe ask for permission to include it.

WDYT?
