+

+This file lists contributors and contributions to the GNU FreeFont project.

+

+

+* 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.ghostscript.com/>, to be available

+under the terms of GNU General Public License (GPL).

+

+	Basic Latin				(U+0041-U+007A)

+	Latin-1 Supplement                      (U+00C0-U+00FF)

+	Latin Extended-A                        (U+0100-U+017F)

+	Spacing Modifier Letters		(U+02B0-U+02FF)

+	Mathematical Operators			(U+2200-U+22FF)

+	Block Elements				(U+2580-U+259F)

+	Dingbats				(U+2700-U+27BF)

+

+

+* 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

+

+

+* Valek Filippov <frob AT df.ru>

+

+Valek Filippov added Cyrillic glyphs and composite Latin Extended A to

+the whole set of the abovementioned URW set of 35 PostScript core fonts,

+<ftp://ftp.gnome.ru/fonts/>.  The fonts are available under GPL.

+(The Cyrillic range was since replaced by another font.)

+

+	Latin Extended-A                        (U+0100-U+017F)

+

+

+* 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 was later dismissed. The resulting files were once found on the FTP

+server of the Department of Mathematical Engineering and Information Physics,

+Faculty of Engineering, University of Tokyo.  Some of these are available at

+<http://www.ctan.org/tex-archive/fonts/wadalab>

+	Katakana				(U+30A0-U+30FF)

+

+

+* 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).

+as a tarball named greekXfonts-Type1-1.1.tgz.

+The glyphs from this source have been used to compose Greek glyphs in

+FreeSans and FreeMono.

+

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

+educational or commercial purposes.  All derived works should include

+this paragraph.  If you want to change something please let me have

+version. You can also send comments etc to the above address."

+from the "Carlo Ator" font by Tim Erickson.

+Vyacheslav also filled in a few missing

+spots in the U+2000-U+27FF area, e.g. the box drawing section, sets of

+subscript and superscript digits and capital Roman numbers.

+* DMS Electronics, The Sri Lanka Tipitaka Project, and Noah Levitt

+  <nlevitt AT columbia.edu>

+

+Noah Levitt found out that the Sinhalese fonts available on the site

+<http://www.metta.lk/fonts/> are released under GNU GPL, or,

+precisely, "Public Domain under GNU Licence Produced by DMS

+Electronics for The Sri Lanka Tipitaka Project" (taken from the font

+comment), and took the effort of recoding the font to Unicode.

+

+These glyphs were later replaced by those from the LKLUG font

+<http://www.lug.lk/fonts/lklug>

+

+Finally the range was completely replaced by glyphs from the sinh TeX

+font, with much help and advice from Harshula Jayasuriya.

+

+* K.H. Hussain <hussain AT kfri.org> and R. Chitrajan

+

+`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.

+FreeFont under its GNU license.

+

+Thanks to Dominik Wujastyk, for providing us with feedback and contacts
