Thanks (or rather Спасибо!) for all the advocacy efforts to convince them of doing a proper OFL release of this high-quality font family! Great to see their reaction to community input as indicated on http://www.paratype.com/cinfo/news.asp?NewsId=318 (website in English) I think this is great news for many writing systems used throughout the Russian Federation. PTSans_OFL.zip does have what is needed (the minimum): the fonts themselves with metadata filled in and a separate license file for OFL 1.1 containing the copyright notice header and the chosen reserved font names. |-- PTC55F.ttf |-- PTC75F.ttf |-- PTN57F.ttf |-- PTN77F.ttf |-- PTS55F.ttf |-- PTS56F.ttf |-- PTS75F.ttf |-- PTS76F.ttf `-- PTSansOFL.txt A quick look at the metadata (with PTC55F.ttf for example) shows: Fontname: PTSans-Caption Version: 2.003 Weight: Book Copyright: Copyright © 2009 ParaType Ltd. All rights reserved. License URL: http://scripts.sil.org/OFL_web Designer URL: http://www.paratype.com/help/designers/ Designer: A.Korolkova, O.Umpeleva, V.Yefimov Vendor URL: http://www.paratype.com Description: PT Sans is a type family of universal use. It consists of 8 styles: regular and bold weights with corresponding italics form a standard computer font family; two narrow styles (regular and bold) are intended for documents that require tight set; two caption styles (regular and bold) are for texts of small point sizes. The design combines traditional conservative appearance with modern trends of humanistic sans serif and characterized by enhanced legibility. These features beside conventional use in business applications and printed stuff made the fonts quite useable for direction and guide signs, schemes, screens of information kiosks and other objects of urban visual communications. The fonts next to standard Latin and Cyrillic character sets contain signs of title languages of the national republics of Russian Federation and support the most of the languages of neighboring countries. The fonts were developed and released by ParaType in 2009 with financial support from Federal Agency of Print and Mass Communications of Russian Federation. Design - Alexandra Korolkova with assistance of Olga Umpeleva and supervision of Vladimir Yefimov. Trademark: PT Sans is a trademark of the ParaType Ltd. I'll take care of getting this nicely packaged on the Debian/Ubuntu side of things. BTW about their project-specific license available and linked to from http://www.paratype.com/public/pt_openlicense_eng.asp you may want you point out the following bugs: - need to sync descriptions between "pt openlicense agreement" and "free font licensing agreement" - distinguishing between embedding in documents and fontlinking in webpages is much better: "embedding in documents and Web pages" -> "embedding in documents and font linking in webpages" - "by itself" -> "by themselves" - "free downloading" and "they are free" are very ambiguous Cheers, -- Nicolas Spalinger, NRSI volunteer Debian/Ubuntu font teams / OpenFontLibrary http://planet.open-fonts.org
