OPEN FONTS PROJECT'S AIMS -We work on a serif and organic grotesque font-family for practical use in documents. -Our project aims at creating a free alternative to the standard W*ndows Font (T*mes). -But neveretheless Libertine and Biolinum are not a clone of any common font! -They have been developed from scratch and go different ways in typography -than the Times or Arial. Just the useability and the dimensions shall be similar, -Libertine should be even better for typical office use! If you want Times- and -Arial-clones go elsewhere. If you just need reliable and good typography -give our fonts a chance. If you want to know more about the design of -Libertine and Biolinum, have a look at our website. - -2. LICENSE AND OPENSOURCE -We publish our fonts under the terms of the GPL (see GPL.txt) and OFL (OFL.txt) --> see also LICENCE.txt! -The OpenSource-tool Fontforge is used as font editor (see http://fontforge.sf.net). - -3. FONT FORMATS: TTF, OTF, SVG, WOFF -The font files are available as TTF (TrueType), OTF (OpenType), -SVG (Scalable Vector Graphics) and WOFF (Web Open Font Format) fonts. -The TTF-/WOFF-Family is called "Linux Libertine" and "Linux Biolinum" -and the OTF/SVG "LinuxLibertine O" and "Linux Biolinum O". - -So that both types can be installed and used parallely. -Most often TTF is the better supported format though OTF has advances in printing. -Decide yourself what is better for your purpose. OpenType-features are equally -available in both fonts. Note that OpenOffice doesn’t support OTFs, yet. - -4. THE LINUX BIOLINUM FONT FACE -Please note: -While you use Libertine-Fonts without any warranty anyway, -take special care with this young font face. - -5. HINTING -The TrueType-hinting is a complex technique and our editor FontForge doesn't support -full possibilities (but it becomes alot better version by version) ... -Since version 2.7 also the normal TTFs are hinted. If you don't like this, send me a mail. -You may also try the OpenTypes (which contain PS-Hintings which are quite -good supported by FontForge). - -6. DOWNLOAD AND CONTACT -We publish our fonts at http://www.linuxlibertine.org/. - -7. THE UNDERLINED VARIANT -Please note: -The underlined variant is recently not being maintained because its concept -doesn’t seem to be sofware-technically reliable and because of lack of interest. -The advantage of this font was that g, commas, cedillas... were not overprinted -by the line anymore. For technical reasons the space was not underlined but -you could use the _ instead. In this font it had the width of the space and -the line was at hight of the underline. The underlined variant used -an older font outline. - -Philipp Poll -- gillian at linuxlibertine.org - |
