Hi, i finally got response from Larry Snyder (aka wierd_w ), who
created Greenville font. (appeared he was on holiday). Below is the
mail he sent me, and i talked to him on irc about it. To summarize,
he's willing to license this LGPL, but reading his mail it seems to
me this won't be a one day fix ;) What he writes further is quite a
bit beyond my knowledge of fonts, so i really hope on of the wine
developers who know something about fonts could read the mail and
tell what could be done, or how things should be done. Thanks in
advance,Louis
I neither fully understood it, but here my opinion. It looks like the
"only" problem he has is the TrueType hinting, which affects small font
sizes. As long as the kerning (=width of a glyph) is correct, and the
font looks somehow similar, it should be suitable for wine's need. So it
should be possible to convert Larry's TTF version with fontforge to SDF,
and you're done. Adding hinting is IMO a second step.
