Hello LyXers,
thanks to Ekkehart, the license problems of the modified TrueTypeFonts taken from Bakoma are fixed. He asked the font designer Mr. Malyshev for a permission and he accepted the attached license information. He also gave the permission to provide the following font package for LyxWin:
http://fkurth.de/uwest/LyX/BaKoMa4LyX.zip
What about your opinions? Can we accept the license info?
(In my opinion we should rearrange it, so that it can be used for every version of LyX. Because if LyX is officially provided by the LyX-Team, we use another version number and the binaries are possibly not on Ruurd's web pages.)
If we can accept it for now, could somebody inform Ruurd and should I announce this on the users-list?
regards Uwe
BaKoMa Fonts for LyX-Win 1.3.5
==============================
ANY DISTRIBUTION OF ONE OF THESE FONTS MUST INCLUDE
THIS README FILE.
The fonts included in this package are intended for Ruurd
Reitsma's Windows port of LyX, version 1.3.5 available at
http://www.home.zonnet.nl/rareitsma/lyx/
as replacements of the fonts provided there. The purpose is
to solve some problems with the display of math symbols.
The fonts included in this package are taken from
http://www.ctan.org/tex-archive/fonts/cm/ps-type1/bakoma/ttf/
and have been modified for use with LyX.
The most recent versions of the original fonts are available
with the complete BaKoMa TeX distribution at
http://www.ctan.org/tex-archive/systems/win32/bakoma/
The author of these fonts, Basil K. Malyshev, has kindly
granted permission to modify these fonts for use as screen
fonts with LyX and to distribute them to users of LyX for
this purpose.
The changes made are simple remappings of glyphs. These mappings
are:
cmsy10.ttf char 8728 mapped to char 183 (\leq)
msbm10.ttf char 8728 mapped to char 183 (\nleqq)
msbm10.ttf char 196 mapped to char 127 (\backepsilon)
cmmi10.ttf char 8728 mapped to char 183 (\kapp)
msam10.ttf char 196 mapped to char 127 (\circleddash)
msam10.ttf char 8728 mapped to char 183 (\uparrows)
The mappings do not change any glyph but make the glyphs mentioned
available under new codes, too. So the functionality of the fonts
will not be affected in any other application.
In all other respects, the terms of the licenses
http://www.ctan.org/tex-archive/fonts/cm/ps-type1/bakoma/BaKoMa-AMS.Fonts
and
http://www.ctan.org/tex-archive/fonts/cm/ps-type1/bakoma/BaKoMa-CM.Fonts
apply.
