[Cooker] Bitstream Fonts

2003-01-22 Thread Brad Chamberlin 

From FootNotes (www.gnomedesktop.org) and OSNews:

The GNOME Foundation has entered into an agreement with Bitstream who
will donate ten high quality fonts to be used with free software (KDE,
XFree86, Gnome as well as others). This means distributions can finally
ship free desktops/applications with a set of high quality fonts.

here is the official press release:
http://www.gnome.org/pr-bitstreamfonts.html

hopefully it won't take too long to actually release them...I wonder if
it's too much wishful thinking for addition to 9.1?

and you can obtain bitstream fonts from getting the free download of 
corel photo paint for linux ( though it actually requires fonttastic 
font server, included in download. ) 90mb rpm

Luis Villa (the guy who posted the screen shot at
http://tieguy.org/fonts.png) said they should be released within a week.
Frederic is already preparing to add them to Cooker cuz he rocks.
