Announcement:
Unicode Font Guide For Free/Libre Open Source Operating Systems
http://eyegene.ophthy.med.umich.edu/unicode/fontguide/
Hi, everyone,
With help from some colleagues, I am compiling selective a guide of
Unicode-based fonts and script projects that are ideal
for free/libre/open source operating systems.
Unlike other online font guides that may leave one wondering about
the licensing terms of certain fonts, or about whether a font is or
is not a Unicode-based font, my primary goal on this site has been
to "winnow the chaff from the grain" and present only Unicode-based
vector fonts that are released under the GPL or similarly open licenses
(Actually, a few notable exceptions like James Kass' Code 2000 and
Michael Everson's Everson Mono which are shareware are also listed
due to their high quality and/or extensive Unicode coverage).
Although the page is still under construction and as a result is
still incomplete for some scripts, I would enjoy receiving feedback
as well as additional information from members of this list.
I hope to maintain and expand this resource in the future so that
it can serve as a hub for those searching for high-quality, legally-downloadable
fonts for various scripts for use on their Open Source-based computers.
Your feedback and suggestions for improvement will be greatly appreciated.
Note that in the future I plan to incorporate this font guide into a
larger "Primer on Unicode and Software Internationalization on
Free/Libre/Open Source Operating Systems" site which will replace and
update my outdated "Quick Primer On Unicode and Software Internationalization
Under Linux and UNIX" at http://eyegene.ophthy.med.umich.edu/unicode/ .
