+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

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

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).

+Angelo Haritsis has compiled a set of Greek Type 1 fonts, available on
102

103
+The glyphs from this source has been used to compose Greek glyphs in
104
+FreeSans and FreeMono.
105

106
+Angelo's licence says: "You can enjoy free use of these fonts for
107
