(Looks like LGPL from my point of view =). + +The "sources" of these fonts in the native pfaedit format are available +at ftp://ftp.gnome.ru/fonts/sources + +The great font editor pfaedit is available at http://pfaedit.sf.net. +That page also includes some links to fonts created by +George Williams -- the author of pfaedit. + +Acknowledgements: +I would like to thank George Williams, the pfaedit's author and developer. +He is the most bug-reporter/feature-requester friendly developer +I ever saw in my not so short life. 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 |
