Recent versions of FontForge expose a bug in old OS/X 10.5 X11 installs. After doing this step it is a good idea to do Apple menu-Software Update... and select Mac OS X Update Combined 5. Create a ~/.fonts directory and drop some fonts into it. Please add a better explanation! Even better, putting the attached file in your home directory will mean fontconfig (and therefore FontForge) will have access to all the standard mac system fonts. (I think Apple should ship with this, but they don't) 6. Run X11 (/Applications/X11) and then run FontForge from the Dock. Actually you should not need to start X11 yourself (though you certainly can). FontForge should start X11 if it needs to. ?xml version=1.0? !DOCTYPE fontconfig SYSTEM fonts.dtd !-- /etc/fonts/fonts.conf file to configure system font access -- fontconfig !-- Font directory list -- !-- Add to system list -- dir/System/Library/Fonts/dir dir/Library/Fonts/dir dir~/Library/Fonts/dir /fontconfig

nice

Yes
Re: [OpenFontLibrary] Public Domain Fonts due to lack of copyright notice
Let's put our energy into getting font designers to support the project, and not into trying to find a half-dozen fonts that were badly released 10 or 20 years ago and might or might not be protected by copyright. The goal is to create a community of people designing and releasing type, not to try and find legal loopholes to annoy the very people we want to attract. All I was doing was asking if anyone knew of any fonts which are Public Domain due to not having a copyright added at the time. I know of no such fonts, but since it is one of the primary ways things enter(ed) the public domain, and there are probably some such fonts out there, the best thing to do would probably be to add something to the wiki somewhere noting the possible/probable existance of fonts which are in Public Domain due being released in the United States before March 1, 1989 without a copyright notice. Using such fonts would probably be unethical, but since they are in the body of open fonts, they do deserve mention. FF **New year...new news. Be the first to know what is making headlines.
