Bug#512638: [Fwd: Re: [Open Font Library] jura light font]
I see in the subject line of the Debian bug for Jura (http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=512638) that it is listed as a monospace font; but this is not the case. It's a variable-width sans font originally inspired by some monospace glyphs. The most recent version of Jura available on openfontlibrary.org clarifies the licensing issues. After some discussion with Steve White (maintainer of FreeFont) and Karl Berry, I've decided that the Kayah Li glyph range is licensed GPLv3 (since these glyphs were lifted from work I did for FreeMono) and the remainder is licensed under the OFL. I hope this doesn't turn out to be too confusing for the Debian community guidelines. If so, I could give up and dual-license the whole thing. The latest version on openfontlibrary.org includes Latin-1, Latin-2, and Cyrillic glyphs. I'll probably add some more accented characters in the future, and I may introduce a Greek range. Any other glyphs I add to the font will probably be on an as-requested basis. Regards, Daniel -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.

Hi Daniel, I see in the subject line of the Debian bug for Jura (http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=512638) that it is listed as a monospace font; but this is not the case. It's a variable-width sans font originally inspired by some monospace glyphs. I know, I noticed, and there's a fixed 0.2 version at http://sid.ethz.ch/debian/ttf-jura/ but it'll need to be uploaded once 0.1 is through NEW queue according to my sponsor. The most recent version of Jura available on openfontlibrary.org clarifies the licensing issues. After some discussion with Steve White (maintainer of FreeFont) and Karl Berry, I've decided that the Kayah Li glyph range is licensed GPLv3 (since these glyphs were lifted from work I did for FreeMono) and the remainder is licensed under the OFL. I hope this doesn't turn out to be too confusing for the Debian community guidelines. If so, I could give up and dual-license the whole thing. I think I got that now. Would you mind calling your files something like jura-3.0.tar.gz you miss out version numbers and the tar extension. The latest version on openfontlibrary.org includes Latin-1, Latin-2, and Cyrillic glyphs. I'll probably add some more accented characters in the future, and I may introduce a Greek range. Any other glyphs I add to the font will probably be on an as-requested basis. Do you plan to have italic and bold/extra bold?

Bug#512638: [Fwd: Re: [Open Font Library] jura light font]
Hello Daniel, I'm glad you got my mail. I will look forward for the other weights. Thank you. I don't even know what Kayah Li is, but I'm generally interested in typography. (Check the Beteckna font on wikipedia for example). Regards, Guerkan Original Message Subject: Re: [Open Font Library] jura light font Date: Thu, 22 Jan 2009 08:34:45 -0500 From: Daniel Johnson il.basso.bu...@gmail.com To: gur...@phys.ethz.ch References: 20090122125630.ba611170...@hawthorn.osuosl.org Hi Gurkan. My name is Daniel Johnson, and my email address is il.basso.bu...@gmail.com. If you can wait a couple days, I will have a few more weights of the font available. I created a Book weight, and am finishing off a Medium weight. On the other hand, if you are interested in this font because of the Kayah Li support, those glyphs will be included in the next version of FreeMono (http://www.gnu.org/software/freefont/).
