Cyrillized free URW fonts.
|
||
|
|
||
|
These fonts were made from the free URW fonts distributed with ghostcript.
|
||
|
There are NO changes in the latin part of them (I hope).
|
||
|
Cyrillic glyphs were added by copying suitable latin ones
|
||
|
and painting oulines of unique cyrillic glyphs in same style as the others.
|
||
|
For all modification pfaedit was used.
|
||
|
The license for result is (of course) same as for original fonts,
|
||
|
i.e. GPL with an exception that you can put these fonts in your own non-GPLed
|
||
|
documents. (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!
