* URW++ Design & Development GmbH <http://www.urwpp.de/>

URW++ donated a set of 35 core PostScript Type 1 fonts to the
11
Ghostscript project <http://www.ghostscript.com/>, to be available

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

  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

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

* Wadalab Kanji Comittee
66

    
67
Between April 1990 and March 1992, Wadalab Kanji Comittee put together a
68
series of scalable font files with Japanese scripts, in four forms:
69
Sai Micho, Chu Mincho, Cho Kaku and Saimaru.
70
The font files are written in custom file format, while tools for conversion
71
into Metafont and PostScript Type 1 are also supplied. The Wadalab Kanji
72
Comittee was later dismissed. The resulting files were once found on the FTP
73
server of the Department of Mathematical Engineering and Information Physics,
74
Faculty of Engineering, University of Tokyo.  Some of these are available at

* 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).

101
Angelo Haritsis has compiled a set of Greek Type 1 fonts, once available as
102
as a tarball named greekXfonts-Type1-1.1.tgz.
103
The glyphs from this source have 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
educational or commercial purposes.  All derived works should include

and can be reached at <ethiop AT informatik.uni-hamburg.de>. The current
280
version of fonts is 0.7 (1998), and they are released under GNU GPL. I
281
converted the fonts to Type 1 format using Péter Szabó's TeXtrace-A

scaling is possible to adapt it to any cell size). He also contributed
313
a free syriac font, whose glyphs (about half of them) are borrowed
314
from the "Carlo Ator" font by Tim Erickson.
315
Vyacheslav also filled in a few missing

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

precisely, "Public Domain under GNU Licence
 Produced by DMS
361
Electronics for The Sri Lanka Tipitaka Project" (taken from the font
362
comment), and took the effort of recoding the font to Unicode.
363

    
364
These glyphs were later replaced by those from the LKLUG font
365
<http://www.lug.lk/fonts/lklug>

publishing to resurrect the Malayalam language from the disorder,
398
fragmentation and degeneration it had suffered since the attempt to adapt
399
the Malayalam script for using with a regular mechanical typewriter, which
400
took place in 1967-69. K.H. Hussein at the Kerala Forest Research Institute
401
has released "Rachana Normal" fonts with approximately 900 glyphs required
402
to typeset traditional Malayalam. R. Chitrajan apparently encoded the
403
glyphs in the OpenType table.
404

    
405
In 2008, the Malayalam ranges in FreeSerif were updated under the advise 
406
and supervision of Hiran Venugopalan of Swathanthra Malayalam Computing,
407
to reflect the revised edition Rachana_04.

In December 2005 the team at www.gnowledge.org released a set of two
450
Unicode pan-Indic fonts: "Samyak" and "Samyak Sans". "Samyak" font
451
belongs to serif style and is an original work of the team; "Samyak
452
Sans" font belongs to sans serif style and is actually a compilation
453
of already released Indic fonts (Gargi, Padma, Mukti, Utkal, Akruti
454
and ThendralUni). Both fonts are based on Unicode standard. 
455
The fonts are now hosted at Sarovar.org:

Created by hand a Cherokee range specially for FreeFont to be "in line with
529
the classic Cherokee typefaces used in 19th century printing", but also to
530
fit well with ranges previously in FreeFont.  Then he made Unified Canadian
531
Syllabics in Sans, and a Cherokee and Kayah Li in Mono!  And never to be
532
outdone by himself, then did UCAS Extended and Osmanya....  What next?
