2002-08-17 Thread Michael Cardenas
Here's an update. 

After consulting with debian-legal, I emailed Bigelow and Holmes
tonight to ask them to reconsider the license they have chosen so that
they can be included in debian. If anyone is interested, I can post
that email here. 

I've ITP'd the one latin ttf font I know of which is not packaged yet,
dustismo, but it does not have very high quality hinting yet. 

I found this extensive list, of original font authors:

http://jeff.cs.mcgill.ca/~luc/originalfonts.html

and have begun to email the to ask about licensing. If anyone is
interested, I can post that email here also. I got to about Bakoma
Fonts so if anyone wants to help look through these fonts and email
the authors of the ones that look valuable, that would be great. Let
me know who how far you get, so we dont duplicate any. 

I emailed the author of metatype (metatype.sourceforge.net) to ask him
about the status of his font and software, but have not received a
response yet. 

I emailed the maintainer of pfaedit, since the author's email is not
listed on his webpage, but have not received any response
yet. Apparently, pfaedit is being actively developed though. It seems
like it is a good font editor, but it needs a lot of work. 

I also found ttfmod, http://pfaedit.sourceforge.net/TtfMod/, a program
specifically for doing truetype hinting, but as the website says The
Save and Save As commands may have problems. Let's pretend it's called
ttfview for now I emailed the author to offer my help, but I haven't 
gotten a
response yet. There was a changelog entry from June 2002. 

In case I didn't mention it before, there is this project:
http://www.freesoftware.fsf.org/freefont/, which is not actually part
of the fsf, but they are trying to make free truetype fonts. 

I will be ITP'ing and creating a ttf-latin meta package that depends on
any useful ttf fonts I can find, including ttf-thryomanes.

So, a lot of stuff is still pending, but I wanted to summarize my
findings here. 

thanks for the input

spend some time in TeX and Metafont some years ago I've learned that
it needs some knowledge and skills to create good looking fonts which
look nice in every skaling and do not need a long time for rendering.

Metafont is a program that takes it's own input language and generates
a truetype font, from what I understand. 

I've contacted some people, to see if anyone knows of any public
domain, high quality true type fonts. Also pfaedit seems like it might
be able to generate good truetype fonts, but it's hinting code needs
some work. 

My main concern at this point is that it may be infeasible to generate
high quality truetype fonts without using apple's patented truetype
instructions (which is only a small subset of instructions, but they
are commonly used in fonts). I've contacted one of the freetype
authors to ask him what he thinks about this.

Have a look at the pktrace package (upstream just renamed it:

These are not truetype fonts and do not have any anti-aliasing.  They do
not even work with Pango using the version of Xft provided in Debian.
Keith Packard's website has Xft2 somewhere I think.  Pango won't use a PCF
font without it.

What Jim's got is already packaged in Debian as xfonts-jmk.  If Jim has
TTF fonts I don't know about, I'd absolutely love to package them.  The
same goes for a utf-8 version of his existing fonts, which his website's

As far as I can tell, it's the rendering which is patented, not the
font information.  So you can create TT fonts with the hinting information,
and for example freetype2 can use it if you enable the bytecode interpreter.
Otherwise it will use its auto-hinter to generate plausible output.
You might want to boycott the patented features, though, and design the
fonts so that they will (only?) render nicely using the autohinter.

As an alternative, would it be acceptable to simply point at Apple and
laugh at their silly patents?  I've been looking at one of them
(US patent 5,155,805), and it's a patent on basic math.  You take a point
and two vectors, project one vector on the other, and add it to the point.
That's ALL.  But if the point is part of a glyph outline, then this
operation is Intelecutal Prupperty of Apple.

(For reference, the USPTO patent search engine is at
http://patft.uspto.gov/netahtml/srchnum.htm
Unfortunately, it doesn't generate useful urls for individual patents.)

You are focusing on the wrong problem.  Application designers choose
TrueType for portability.  SDL applications, for instance, may use
libSDL-ttf to display TrueType fonts.  We do not need to support platforms
that don't have Type1 fonts.  However, we do need to support applications
written with support for platforms that don't have Type1 fonts.

 Well, who else is there?  Some software developers are rather clever,
 critical and eager to learn.  If you write a Free Software application

yes they are. and hopefully some of them will want to help. and from
what I understand, creating really high quality tt fonts means writing
your own hinting instructions into the font. who better to do this
than software developers? All we need is one person with a sense of
design, and a few people to work out the technical details. 

So it seems that there are some gpl tt fonts here,
http://www.gust.org.pl/fonty/index.html, as mentioned earlier in the
thread, but I'm not sure because I can't read this page and babelfish
doesn't do polish. Can someone confirm this?

How about if I ITP something like free-truetype and include both these
fonts, and the metatype fonts (there are two fonts they have that are
tt and gpl, but they need some work on their hinting). Then as we find
more, we can include them in the package.

Also, the Bigelow and Holmes fonts in xfree86 have a clause in their
license that they can't be modified, and I imagine that this is to
preserve their artistic integrity. Maybe we can contact them (and
consult debian-legal first) about adding a clause that they can be
modified, but only if the name is changed, or only in a patch file. If
they agree, we could add those to our growing list of free tt fonts.

 $5k/font? I have no idea what the 'going rate' for unlimited
 distribution licenses are.)  Of course, the latter really only gets us
 'free' fonts as in beer, and most likely not in 'source' or
 'modification' rights.  

Which is why it would be better for someone to donate their time and
make some free as in speech fonts. 

 Are there any 'opensource' font authors out
 there doing anthing interesting?
  

IANAFA, but I would be very interested in working with anyone else who
would like to create a library of some free as in speech truetype
fonts. I don't know all that much about fonts, I wrote a simple font
parser for linux and macosX when I worked at Deneba Software, but that's about
the extent of my knowledge. There seems to be a genuine need here and
I imagine that if someone started a project and it got some momentum,
some font author somewhere might help out. 

From a simple google search:

http://www.google.com/search?hl=enlr=ie=UTF-8oe=UTF-8q=open+source+font+creation+software

I found this page:

http://jeff.cs.mcgill.ca/~luc/editors.html

which lists these two items of note:

http://metatype.sourceforge.net/ - Free TrueType Fonts - this page has
truetype fonts that are downloadable, but the project seems like it's
not being maintained. the last, and only release was on
2001-12-21. Also, there is no license provided for the fonts. 

and

http://pfaedit.sourceforge.net/ - A postscript font editor that lets
you create your own postscript, truetype, opentype, cid-keyed and
bitmap (bdf) fonts, or edit existing ones. 
which is already in the archive, but might allow someone to start
creating some fonts. 

Maybe we need to develop some free tools that allow easier truetype
font creation.
