I don't speak for the XFree86 project, but in the past, they have refused to include GPL'ed software (which includes fonts) in their base distribution. You've based your fonts on URW++'s Nimbus series, which is GPLed; your Linux distribution may have installed these as X11 fonts, but XFree86 didn't ship them. (GNU and Aladdin Ghostscript does ship these fonts with its software, by the way.) For a font to ship with XFree86, its licence must normally be only as restrictive, or less restrictive, than the X Consortium licence. An exception was made for the Lucidux series from Bigelow and Holmes, because of the quality of these fonts, as I understand it. To get your Georgian support fonts shipping, you can either base them on a font with a less restrictive licence, and supply them to XFree86 with that licence, or give them to URW, who should help with their distribution under the GPL. -- I'm not a pheasant plucker / I'm a pheasant plucker's son.
