* URW++ Design & Development GmbH <http://www.urwpp.de/>
|
|
|
|
URW++ donated a set of 35 core PostScript Type 1 fonts to the
|
|
Ghostscript project <http://www.cs.wisc.edu/~ghost/>, to be available
|
|
under the terms of GNU General Public License (GPL).

* Yannis Haralambous <yannis.haralambous AT enst-bretagne.fr> and John
|
|
Plaice <plaice AT omega.cse.unsw.edu.au>
|
|
|
|
Yannis Haralambous and John Plaice are the authors of Omega typesetting
|
|
system, <http://omega.enstb.org/>. Omega is an extension of TeX.
|
|
Its first release, aims primarily at improving TeX's multilingual abilities.
|
|
In Omega all characters and pointers into data-structures are 16-bit wide,
|
|
instead of 8-bit, thereby eliminating many of the trivial limitations of TeX.
|
|
Omega also allows multiple input and output character sets, and uses
|
|
programmable filters to translate from one encoding to another, to perform
|
|
contextual analysis, etc. Internally, Omega uses the universal 16-bit Unicode
|
|
standard character set, based on ISO-10646. These improvements not only make
|
|
it a lot easier for TeX users to cope with multiple or complex languages,
|
|
like Arabic, Indic, Khmer, Chinese, Japanese or Korean, in one document, but
|
|
will also form the basis for future developments in other areas, such as
|
|
native color support and hypertext features. ... Fonts for UT1 (omlgc family)
|
|
and UT2 (omah family) are under development: these fonts are in PostScript
|
|
format and visually close to Times and Helvetica font families.
|
|
Omega fonts are available subject to GPL

* Wadalab Kanji Comittee
|
|
|
|
Between April 1990 and March 1992, Wadalab Kanji Comittee put together
|
|
a series of scalable font files with Japanese scripts, in four forms:
|
|
Sai Micho, Chu Mincho, Cho Kaku and Saimaru. The font files are
|
|
written in custom file format, while tools for conversion into
|
|
Metafont and PostScript Type 1 are also supplied. The Wadalab Kanji
|
|
Comittee has later been dismissed, and the resulting files can be now
|
|
found on the FTP server of the Depertment of Mathematical Engineering
|
|
and Information Physics, Faculty of Engineering, University of Tokyo

* Young U. Ryu <ryoung AT utdallas.edu>
|
|
|
|
Young Ryu is the author of Txfonts, a set of mathematical symbols
|
|
designed to accompany text typeset in Times or its variants. In the
|
|
documentation, Young adresses the design of mathematical symbols: "The
|
|
Adobe Times fonts are thicker than the CM fonts. Designing math fonts
|
|
for Times based on the rule thickness of Times = , , + , / , < ,
|
|
etc. would result in too thick math symbols, in my opinion. In the TX
|
|
fonts, these glyphs are thinner than those of original Times
|
|
fonts. That is, the rule thickness of these glyphs is around 85% of
|
|
that of the Times fonts, but still thicker than that of the CM fonts."
|
|
TX fonts are are distributed under the GNU public license (GPL).

|
|
a free syriac font, whose glyphs (about half of them) are borrowed
|
|
from the "Carlo Ator" font freely downloadable from
|
|
<http://www.aacf.asso.fr/>. Vyacheslav also filled in a few missing

|
|
|
`Rachana' in Malayalam means `to write', `to create'. Rachana Akshara Vedi,
|
|
a team of socially committed information technology professionals and
|
|
philologists, has applied developments in computer technology and desktop
|
|
publishing to resurrect the Malayalam language from the disorder,
|
|
fragmentation and degeneration it had suffered since the attempt to adapt
|
|
the Malayalam script for using with a regular mechanical typewriter, which
|
|
took place in 1967-69. K.H. Hussein at the Kerala Forest Research Institute
|
|
has released "Rachana Normal" fonts with approximately 900 glyphs required
|
|
to typeset traditional Malayalam. R. Chitrajan apparently encoded the
|
|
glyphs in the OpenType table.
|
|
|
|
In 2008, the Malayalam ranges in FreeSerif were updated under the advise
|
|
and supervision of Hiran Venugopalan of Swathanthra Malayalam Computing,
|
|
to reflect the revised edition Rachana_04.

In December 2005 the team at www.gnowledge.org released a set of two
|
|
Unicode pan-Indic fonts: "Samyak" and "Samyak Sans". "Samyak" font
|
|
belongs to serif style and is an original work of the team; "Samyak
|
|
Sans" font belongs to sans serif style and is actually a compilation
|
|
of already released Indic fonts (Gargi, Padma, Mukti, Utkal, Akruti
|
|
and ThendralUni). Both fonts are based on Unicode standard. You can
|
|
download the font files (released under GNU/GPL License) from
