I am sorry, I misunderstood your idea. What you are proposing is a very fine project and if you have the time and abilities to accomplish it, I can only hope that I can be of some use to it. Some testing of the cyrillic glyphs in Bulgaria can be one of the things ;-) > I don't think any opinion should be more important than others. And > what have XFree86 developers to do with this? As I said - I misunderstood your idea. I thought you were proposing the project as an integral part of XFree86. > There are font > developers and font users whose opinion should really be counted. Yes this is true. I am sorry, I think I have placed myself in the position "too much talking, no coding". > RMS > could tell us something about what freedoms a user could/should have, > because that's basically what Free programs (and I think Free fonts > should be) are about. RMS says a lot of things. Having his opinion is nice, but not everyone regards him as the universal measure of freedom. (I do respect and agree with his work and a lot of his views ;-)) On a side notice - GPL can be in fact applied to fonts, with an amending clause saying that using GPL fonts in a document (in fact a PostScript program) does not imply it should be GPL-ed too in order to be publicly published. Which is actually what is probably needed - GPLing the font for the purpose of people use it and change it freely, but not putting pressure on people to GPL content. (similar to LGPL). I think URW fonts are licensed in this way. This allowed for the inclusion of Cyrillic glyphs in them (and probably Hebrew in the near future) (thanx frob) Check ftp://ftp.gnome.ru/fonts Best regards: al_shopov _______________________________________________ Fonts mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://XFree86.Org/mailman/listinfo/fonts
