(Looks like LGPL from my point of view =). +For the rest of the URW PostScript fonts and some additional information, see +http://www.ctan.org/tex-archive/fonts/urw/base35 -The "sources" of these fonts in the native pfaedit format are available -at ftp://ftp.gnome.ru/fonts/sources +The files were renamed from the "Karl-Berry scheme" to the original URW scheme +expected by the poppler library.

At some moment in the future -I must write a book about him: "George Williams and my best experience -in bug-reporting." George also greatly helped me bug-hunting these fonts, -explained to me some very important things about fonts and font design, -quickly adopted pfaedit to my needs (or pointed me to The Right Place in -documentation where I found better way of doing things). - -I would like to thank Alexey Novodvorsky (aka AEN), who -pointed me to pfaedit and George Williams' fonts, explained -The Task to me. He is also one of the main participators in the -development of Sysiphus -- free repository of free software. -I didn't loose my time for compiling/installing and supporting -my linux box coz I used the result of Sysiphus developers' works. - -I would like to thank Sergey Vlasov, who tested these fonts and reported -about bugs. Also he help me to make some bug-reports to George about -pfaedit bugs. - -I would like Dmitry 40in, who did big QA for some font outlines, drawn some glyphs, -and explain some The Truths for me. - -I would like to thank Vlad Harchev (aka hvv), who -proofread this text for me. - -Also I have to thank RMS for GPL and URW for releasing the fonts -under it. - -Thank you very much! -Valek Filippov frob@df.ru -(C)opyLeft 2001 |
