+These are release versions of the GNU FreeFont fonts.
+
+You probably want to get just one of them, the one with the most recent date,
+that matches your needs.
+
+As of the 2012 release,
+
+The "otf" files are OpenType, for use in most modern operating systems.
+
+The "ttf" files are TrueType, (strongly) preferred for Windows.
+
+The "woff" files are Web Open Font Format files, for use as Web fonts.
+
+The "src" and "sfd" files hold FontForge "Spline Font Database" files,
+for use by font developers.
+
+The ".sig" files are an accountability requirement of GNU upload policies.
+You probably don't need that.
+
+(In releases prior to 2012, OpenType was preferred for Windows, and TrueType
+for other systems. The essential difference is that now the internal format
+of the letters in the OpenType files is cubic spline (PostScript) and of the
+TrueType is quadratic spline (TrueType).)
