OFF: Free Software

The problem is that typography isn't free, and nobody's volunteering
to make such fonts available free, except Michael Everson, and he only
when he's not busy, which is rarely.  See http://www.indigo.ie/egt .

The fonts used to print the Unicode books are donated by various typographical
companies and usable solely for that purpose.

*I* just volunteered to produce fonts for free (as have others in this list),
with the one caveat (in my case) that *as yet* my ability isn't very good, so
the results may be a bit shabby, and take a rather long time to produce.  The
one problem is getting copyright-free source material, and if I could draw
freehand or find a source in the public domain, I'd churn out one free font a
month, at least.


Rant over.  Bunker door secured.  Asbestos suit at the ready.  :-)


Just my .02, for which I am unlikely to offer appologies.
