   8  * URW++ Design & Development GmbH <http://www.urwpp.de/>
   9  
  10  URW++ donated a set of 35 core PostScript Type 1 fonts to the
  11  Ghostscript project <http://www.cs.wisc.edu/~ghost/>, to be available
  12  under the terms of GNU General Public License (GPL).

  23  * Yannis Haralambous <yannis.haralambous AT enst-bretagne.fr> and John
  24    Plaice <plaice AT omega.cse.unsw.edu.au>
  25  
  26  Yannis Haralambous and John Plaice are the authors of Omega typesetting
  27  system, <http://omega.enstb.org/>. Omega is an extension of TeX.
  28  Its first release, aims primarily at improving TeX's multilingual abilities.
  29  In Omega all characters and pointers into data-structures are 16-bit wide,
  30  instead of 8-bit, thereby eliminating many of the trivial limitations of TeX.
  31  Omega also allows multiple input and output character sets, and uses
  32  programmable filters to translate from one encoding to another, to perform
  33  contextual analysis, etc. Internally, Omega uses the universal 16-bit Unicode
  34  standard character set, based on ISO-10646. These improvements not only make
  35  it a lot easier for TeX users to cope with multiple or complex languages,
  36  like Arabic, Indic, Khmer, Chinese, Japanese or Korean, in one document, but
  37  will also form the basis for future developments in other areas, such as
  38  native color support and hypertext features. ... Fonts for UT1 (omlgc family)
  39  and UT2 (omah family) are under development: these fonts are in PostScript
  40  format and visually close to Times and Helvetica font families. 
  41  Omega fonts are available subject to GPL

  65  * Wadalab Kanji Comittee
  66  
  67  Between April 1990 and March 1992, Wadalab Kanji Comittee put together
  68  a series of scalable font files with Japanese scripts, in four forms:
  69  Sai Micho, Chu Mincho, Cho Kaku and Saimaru. The font files are
  70  written in custom file format, while tools for conversion into
  71  Metafont and PostScript Type 1 are also supplied. The Wadalab Kanji
  72  Comittee has later been dismissed, and the resulting files can be now
  73  found on the FTP server of the Depertment of Mathematical Engineering
  74  and Information Physics, Faculty of Engineering, University of Tokyo
  75  <ftp://ftp.ipl.t.u-tokyo.ac.jp/Font/>.

  80  
  81  * Young U. Ryu <ryoung AT utdallas.edu>
  82  
  83  Young Ryu is the author of Txfonts, a set of mathematical symbols
  84  designed to accompany text typeset in Times or its variants. In the
  85  documentation, Young adresses the design of mathematical symbols: "The
  86  Adobe Times fonts are thicker than the CM fonts. Designing math fonts
  87  for Times based on the rule thickness of Times = , , + , / , < ,
  88  etc. would result in too thick math symbols, in my opinion. In the TX
  89  fonts, these glyphs are thinner than those of original Times
  90  fonts. That is, the rule thickness of these glyphs is around 85% of
  91  that of the Times fonts, but still thicker than that of the CM fonts."
  92  TX fonts are are distributed under the GNU public license (GPL).

 294  Hebrew-speaking Linux and Unix community with a basic collection of
 295  Hebrew fonts for X Windows. The fonts are visually compatible with
 296  URW++ Century Schoolbook L, URW++ Nimbus Sans L and URW++ Nimbus Mono
 297  L families, respectively, and are released under GNU GPL license. See

 314  with the UCS fonts to fill the 2800-28FF range completely. (uniform
 315  scaling is possible to adapt it to any cell size). He also contributed
 316  a free syriac font, whose glyphs (about half of them) are borrowed
 317  from the "Carlo Ator" font freely downloadable from
 318  <http://www.aacf.asso.fr/>. Vyacheslav also filled in a few missing
 319  spots in the U+2000-U+27FF area, e.g. the box drawing section, sets of
 320  subscript and superscript digits and capital Roman numbers.

 384  `Rachana' in Malayalam means `to write', `to create'. Rachana Akshara Vedi,
 385  a team of socially committed information technology professionals and
 386  philologists, has applied developments in computer technology and desktop
 387  publishing to resurrect the Malayalam language from the disorder,
 388  fragmentation and degeneration it had suffered since the attempt to adapt
 389  the Malayalam script for using with a regular mechanical typewriter, which
 390  took place in 1967-69. K.H. Hussein at the Kerala Forest Research Institute
 391  has released "Rachana Normal" fonts with approximately 900 glyphs required
 392  to typeset traditional Malayalam. R. Chitrajan apparently encoded the
 393  glyphs in the OpenType table.
 394  
 395  In 2008, the Malayalam ranges in FreeSerif were updated under the advise 
 396  and supervision of Hiran Venugopalan of Swathanthra Malayalam Computing,
 397  to reflect the revised edition Rachana_04.

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