Hi Jeremy! Great to see a new name here! This project is still in a very early stage, but welcome! :-)

A few topics here: 1) The website search doesn't work for me. For example, the search can't find "libertine" but I see it listed in the wiki.
The wiki is not integrated with the ccHost system that runs the main site. The list of existing free fonts on the wiki is a list for people to import into the site, once the site is fully working - that is, once it can tag fonts with the SIL Open Font License instead of Creative Commons Public Domain. Most of the fonts will need their authors to be contacted to relicense under OFL.
2) I am looking for replacements for Microsoft Corefonts which are TrueType fonts from Microsoft with WGL4 (Windows Glyph List 4) charset:
I'm not aware of anything like replacements for these fonts. While not free software, you can get these from http://corefonts.sf.net and they are freely redistributable, which IMO is the most important freedom in free software.
(I also found some replacements at http://www.users.bigpond.net.au/gavindi/ but don't know
Cool - didn't know about this project! I just downloaded the .tgz file and there is a LICENSE file inside, titled "Bitstream Vera Fonts Copyright". Look at the files, it seems this is just Bitstream Vera with the metrics changed to act as a drop-in replacement for Arial, Times and Verdana. I'm suspect about the quality of this...
3) Does your wiki contain instructions on how to map replacements with fontconfig and maybe other applications? If not, can anyone share examples?
No, it doesn't contain this information. I've never tried this, although I think its possible. Please post your solution on the list when you arrive at it! :-) -- Regards, Dave _______________________________________________ Openfontlibrary mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/openfontlibrary
