Yes, but I'd rather wait for the final version to include it in XWiki. I also have the beta fonts locally, but I don't think they were supposed to be used in stable applications. Update: I asked the FreeFont guys if there are any problems with the GPL/LGPL licenses, and they said it is OK to include their font in our product. For the moment, having at least support for some non-latin1 languages is better than nothing. I'll add some documentation about how to change the default font, in case someone needs to export chinese documents to PDF. > > > Le 04-juil.-08 à 06:38, Sergiu Dumitriu a écrit : > >> Hi devs, >> >> I almost finished implementing >> http://jira.xwiki.org/jira/browse/XWIKI-1609 >> What remains to be done, is to find a good font to embed in XWiki. >> >> The best candidate would be the one from the StixFonts project, but >> that one is not yet released >> (delayed several years, now apparently is in the packaging stage; the >> expected date is August, but >> given the history of their release dates, it's more likely sometime in >> the winter or even next year). >> >> The next best candidate is FreeFont >> (http://savannah.gnu.org/projects/freefont/), but that one is >> GPL, and doesn't have complete support for asian characters. >> >> The third best candidate is an extended version of Computer Modern >> (http://canopus.iacp.dvo.ru/~panov/cm-unicode/), which is distributed >> under the X11 license, but it >> is less complete than FreeFont. >> >> For the moment, I'd be in favor of including the FreeFont, but we need >> to see if a GPL font can be >> redistributed or not, and maybe ask for permission to include it. >> -- Sergiu Dumitriu http://purl.org/net/sergiu/ _______________________________________________ devs mailing list [email protected] http://lists.xwiki.org/mailman/listinfo/devs
