Hello to all,
I have just submitted the new Bigelow & Holmes Luxi (formerly Lucidux)
fonts for inclusion in XFree86; they are available to XFree86 members
as patch number 5010.
Main news:
- bold versions are available, leading to a complete family (r, i, b
and b-i);
- both Type 1 and TrueType versions (both under the same name; users
can choose which one they get by setting their font path);
- expanded glyph repertoire (brand new punctuation characters,
leading to full coverage of both Adobe Standard and Windows glyph
collections).
Things to do:
- test the new configuration;
- update the Xft configuration to take them into account;
- update font paths to include the TTF directory;
- update all user configuration files to point at Luxi instead of
Lucidux.
Note that *no* compatibility aliases with the old names are provided.
This is to comply with an explicit request by Charles Bigelow and Kris
Holmes. I would ask distributors not to include such aliases either.
(I realise that this is a pain, but there are potential trademark
issues with the old name. B&H have ensured that they hold suitable
trademarks on the new name.)
Thanks for your help,
Juliusz
