I don't remeber if I ever committed it to ReactOS svn but if its there it would have been in reactos/media/fonts. Email them or ask on IRC if they can get you in touch with the author. I think his irc handle was WiredW but I don't recall his real name. The author had offered to license it LGPL or X11/BSD and was going to try to import the source or whatever in to fontforge but was frustrated because it lost his hinting or something. -- Steven Edwards "There is one thing stronger than all the armies in the world, and that is an idea whose time has come." - Victor Hugo

Greenville's face is substantially is different from Tahoma, the only thing which is similar to Tahoma is character widths, which makes Greenville a compatible replacement of Tahoma. Since I worked for a publishing company for 10 years, and I know how the font faces are being created, I should say that although Greenville has been developed (formally) for ReactOS I don't think that that fact should make it less useable outside of it. Is there an official policy on whether or not Greenville would be accepted into Wine? Way back in September 2004 (and quoted in WWN 241 [1]) it was said that Greenville was written in some expensive program other that fontforge - is that hindering its inclusion? --Murph [1] http://www.kernel-traffic.org/wine/wn20040924_241.txt
