Four (open-source) Greek fonts are now available, and why it's relevant
Hi, Just to announce the availability of four Greek fonts, at http://www.ellak.gr/fonts/mgopen/ Why it matters to the marketing list? There are limited non-latin fonts which are distributed as open-source. It's important to populate the list of available open-source fonts for a language, as they can be made available on any Linux distribution. A graphical environment (such as GNOME) is made more appealing to the end-user if there are beautiful fonts available. Until now, Greek GNOME users had freefont (FreeSerif and FreeSans) as the only good quality proportional fonts for the graphical interface. All, these fonts were previously commercial and got recently donated. The licence process chosen was that of the Bitstream Vera fonts, at http://www.gnome.org/fonts/ initiated by the GNOME Foundation. Another example of a font distributed with a Bitstream Vera-style license is Nafees Web Naskh (http://crulp.org/nafeesWebNaskh.html).

There is a little bit of information in the wiki; if you guys could please put more information there so that we have one reference place for it, that would be great.
