+ GNU FreeFont
+
+The GNU FreeFont project aims to provide a useful set of free scalable
+(i.e., OpenType) fonts covering as much as possible of the ISO 10646/Unicode
+UCS (Universal Character Set).
+
+Statement of Purpose
+--------------------
+
+The practical reason for putting glyphs together in a single font face is
+to conveniently mix symbols and characters from different writing systems,
+without having to switch fonts.
+
+Coverage
+--------
+
+FreeFont covers the following character ranges
+* Latin, Cyrillic, and Arabic, with supplements for many languages
+* Greek, Hebrew, Armenian, Georgian, Thaana, Syriac
+* Devanagari, Bengali, Gujarati, Gurmukhi, Sinhala, Tamil, Malayalam
+* Thai, Tai Le, Kayah Li, Hanunóo, Buginese
+* Cherokee, Unified Canadian Aboriginal Syllabics
+* Ethiopian, Tifnagh, Vai, Osmanya, Coptic
+* Glagolitic, Gothic, Runic, Ugaritic, Old Persian, Phoenician, Old Italic
+* Braille, International Phonetic Alphabet
+* currency symbols, general punctuation and diacritical marks, dingbats
+* mathematical symbols, including much of the TeX repertoire of symbols
+* technical symbols: APL, OCR, arrows,
+* geometrical shapes, box drawing
+* musical symbols, gaming symbols, miscellaneous symbols
+ etc.
+For more detail see <http://www.gnu.org/software/freefont/coverage.html>
+
+Editing
+-------
+
+The free outline font editor, George Williams' FontForge
+<http://fontforge.sourceforge.net/> is used for editing the fonts.
+
+Design Issues
+-------------
+
+Which font shapes should be made? Historical style terms like Renaissance
+or Baroque letterforms cannot be applied beyond Latin/Cyrillic/Greek
+scripts to any greater extent than Kufi or Nashki can be applied beyond
+Arabic script; "italic" is strictly meaningful only for Latin letters,
+although many scripts such as Cyrillic have a history with "cursive" and
+many others with "oblique" faces.
+
+However, most modern writing systems have typographic formulations for
+contrasting uniform and modulated character stroke widths, and since the
+advent of the typewriter, most have developed a typographic style with
+uniform-width characters.
+
+Accordingly, the FreeFont family has one monospaced - FreeMono - and two
+proportional faces (one with uniform stroke - FreeSans - and one with
+modulated stroke - FreeSerif).
+
+The point of having characters from different writing systems in one font
+is that mixed text should look good, and so each FreeFont face contains
+characters of similar style and weight.

+
+Files and their suffixes
+------------------------
+
+The files with .sfd (Spline Font Database) are in FontForge's native format.
+They may be used to modify the fonts.
+
+TrueType fonts are the files with the .ttf (TrueType Font) suffix. These
+are ready to use in Linux/Unix, on Apple Mac OS, and on Microsoft Windows
+systems.
+
+OpenType fonts (with suffix .otf) are preferred for use on Linux/Unix,
+but *not* for recent Microsoft Windows systems.
+See the INSTALL file for more information.
+
+Web Open Font Format files (with suffix .woff) are for use in Web sites.
+See the webfont_guidelines.txt for further information.
