His primary business is fonts. Piracy is killing his business. Releasing a few fonts for Linux will only be a philanthropic move for him. Linux is irrelevant to him till DTP operators, News houses and Television channels moves to Linux. I had convinced him 2 years back to release a small bunch of high quality fonts for the Linux. He had agreed, but I did not follow up on that. But he sure will help someone who wants to make fonts for Linux non commercially. Commercial Note [Sorry for the non - free nature of this, just wanted to help someone who might be interested]: For anybody interested - he was seriously impressed when I told him you could make a Linux distribution for DTP operators with the fonts packaged along with it. The catch is - the fonts need to be protected from copying. If anybody has got a solution, he will be willing to pay handsomely.
