May be Gentium (see > http://scripts.sil.org/cms/scripts/page.php?site_id=nrsi&id=gentium) > could be a first step if they release it under OFL ? Yes! I very much like that font and am using this font now for a couple of years. Very nice italics, but unfortunately no dedicated bold version.... They indicated in the mail you forwarded that they intend to "oflify" Gentium along with Doulos SIL (which is another great font, esp. when you need greek/cyrillic or IPA symbols) and some others. > I would like to have opinions from others, because I'm not really a > "font user" (arial is the best in my life ;) or in need of special fonts > like some languages could have. SIL Fonts *rock* :-) - Especially for those languages that are not-so-wide-spread (in terms of high-quality fonts). Wheny you're into bible studies/hebrew, then have a look at Ezra SIL. See Galatia SIL for another greek Font... Regarding the proposed license, I cannot find anything that would conflict with OOo. As I personally don't care too much about the DFSG, it is perfectly OK for me that the license forbids selling the font (or derivates) itself (or in font-collections). It doesn't restrict selling of a bundle like OOo as a whole and that is what counts for me. I'm looking forward to it... ciao Christian -- NP: Raging Speedhorn - Death Row Dogs --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
