Hi all, With help from Nicolas Spalinger, a typo lover, who manage free fonte on Debian, linguist, co-author of the SIL and francophone, we look into the free fonte repository of debian to search some good free fonte for our children.
We have to care about this point for our document marketing and why not for DDL itself. I have a daughter with 6 years old, who just begun officially to learn read and write. I notice that at school they learn at the same time various font, see this example of her work : http://www.doudoulinux.org/share/file.php?h=R10283766e4c9fba99a1c4eef9c1d86c7 Crazy, isn't ? So in our case... Here some free fonte readable : 1. - pecita : http://pecita.eu/ readable font for children ? readable font for adult ? have enought glyphe for your language ? My opinion : no good for me, even we tweak some letters (like the d and the S) (i can do that). 2. - Ecoulier Court http://pkg-fonts.alioth.debian.org/review/pkg-ttf-ecolier-court.html readable font for children ? readable font for adult ? have enought glyphe for your language ? My opinion : exactly what the french little student have to learn when they write. So we can use it on DDL and for marketing (little thing). => have to control the exact licence 3. Andika see example : http://www.doudoulinux.org/share/file.php?h=R2a1e4589e7d5bd987de78d414fe02336 readable font for children ? readable font for adult ? have enought glyph for your language ? Installation : http://scripts.sil.org/cms/scripts/page.php?item_id=Andika_download My opinion : good for makerting, inbetween geek font and children font. I am a lot in favor. That is for packaging font. For marketing purpose we have a lot of more choice, our only restriction is : free fonte only. some cool links : http://comicsanscriminal.com/ http://blog.linuxgrrl.com/category/unpackaged-font-of-the-week/ http://blog.linuxgrrl.com/2009/11/04/unpackaged-open-font-of-the-week-sniglet/ http://pkg-fonts.alioth.debian.org/review/pkg-ttf-tomsontalks.html http://www.abstractfonts.com/font/15016 etc etc Regards, Elisa
