# Yannis Haralambous <yannis.haralambous AT enst-bretagne.fr> and John
Plaice <plaice AT omega.cse.unsw.edu.au>
Yannis Haralambous and John Plaice are the authors of Omega
typesetting system, <http://omega.cse.unsw.edu.au/>. Omega is an
extension of TeX. Its first release, aims primarily at improving TeX's
multilingual abilities. In Omega all characters and pointers into
data-structures are 16-bit wide, instead of 8-bit, thereby eliminating
many of the trivial limitations of TeX. Omega also allows multiple
input and output character sets, and uses programmable filters to
translate from one encoding to another, to perform contextual
analysis, etc. Internally, Omega uses the universal 16-bit Unicode
standard character set, based on ISO-10646. These improvements not
only make it a lot easier for TeX users to cope with multiple or
complex languages, like Arabic, Indic, Khmer, Chinese, Japanese or
Korean, in one document, but will also form the basis for future
developments in other areas, such as native color support and
hypertext features. ... Fonts for UT1 (omlgc family) and UT2 (omah
family) are under development: these fonts are in PostScript format
and visually close to Times and Helvetica font families. (from the
Omega WWW site). Omega fonts are available subject to GPL
<http://www.ctan.org/tex-archive/help/Catalogue/entries/omegafonts.html>.

# Wadalab Kanji Comittee
Between April 1990 and March 1992, Wadalab Kanji Comittee put together
a series of scalable font files with Japanese scripts, in four forms:
Sai Micho, Chu Mincho, Cho Kaku and Saimaru. The font files are
written in custom file format, while tools for conversion into
Metafont and PostScript Type 1 are also supplied. The Wadalab Kanji
Comittee has later been dismissed, and the resulting files can be now
found on the FTP server of the Depertment of Mathematical Engineering
and Information Physics, Faculty of Engineering, University of Tokyo
<ftp:#ftp.ipl.t.u-tokyo.ac.jp/Font/>.

# Young U. Ryu <ryoung AT utdallas.edu>
Young Ryu is the author of Txfonts, a set of mathematical symbols
designed to accompany text typeset in Times or its variants. In the
documentation, Young adresses the design of mathematical symbols: "The
Adobe Times fonts are thicker than the CM fonts. Designing math fonts
for Times based on the rule thickness of Times = , , + , / , < ,
etc. would result in too thick math symbols, in my opinion. In the TX
fonts, these glyphs are thinner than those of original Times
fonts. That is, the rule thickness of these glyphs is around 85% of
that of the Times fonts, but still thicker than that of the CM fonts."
TX fonts are are distributed under the GNU public license
(GPL). Pointers to their location are available on
<http://www.utdallas.edu/~ryoung/txfonts/>.

Installing the Free UCS outline fonts
=====================================
These installation notes are supposed to provide a helpful guidance
through the process of installation of free UCS outline fonts. They
can probably be significantly improved. Please direct your comments,
suggestions for improvements, criticisms etc. to Primoz PETERLIN
<primoz.peterlin@biofiz.mf.uni-lj.si> and thus help improve them.
1. UNIX/GNU/Linux/BSD Systems
The rather awkward "UNIX/GNU/Linux/BSD" agglomeration is used to
denote any system capable of running XFree86 server with FreeType
<http://www.freetype.org/>, a high-quality free font rasterizer.
1.1 The rough way
Unfortunately, hardly any other way exists at the moment.
1) Fetch the freefont-ttf.tar.gz package with Free UCS outline fonts
in the TrueType format.
2) Unpack TrueType fonts into a suitable directory,
e.g. /usr/share/fonts/default/TrueType/.
3) If you have chosen any other directory, make sure the directory you
used to install the fonts is listed in the path searched by the X
Font Server. Append the directory to the "catalogue=" in the
/etc/X11/fs/config.
4) Run ttmkfdir in the directory where you unpacked the fonts.
1.2 Debian GNU/Linux
Users of Debian GNU/Linux system will probably want to use the
pre-packed Debian package, as available from the Debian site,
<http://packages.debian.org/unstable/x11/ttf-freefont.html>, or
any of its mirrors. You can install them by issuing the command
apt-get install ttf-freefont
2. Microsoft Windows 95/98/NT/2000/XP
To be written.
3. MacOS
To be written.

Summary: This project aims to privide a set of free scalable
(PostScript Type0, TrueType, OpenType...) fonts covering the ISO
10646/Unicode UCS (Universal Character Set).
Why do we need free scalable UCS fonts?
A large number of free software users switched from free X11
bitmapped fonts to proprietary Microsoft Truetype fonts, as a) they
used to be freely downloaded from Microsoft Typography page
<http://www.microsoft.com/typography/free.htm>, b) they contain a more
or less decent subsed of the ISO 10646 UCS (Universal Character Set),
c) they are high-quality, well hinted scalable Truetype fonts, and d)
Freetype <http://www.freetype.org/>, a free high-quality Truetype font
renderer exists and has been integrated into the latest release of
XFree86, the free X11 server.
Building a dependence on non-free software, even a niche one like
fonts, is dangerous. Microsoft Truetype core fonts are not free, they
are just costless. For now, at least. Citing the TrueType core fonts
for the Web FAQ <http://www.microsoft.com/typography/faq/faq8.htm>:
"You may only redistribute the fonts in their original form (.exe or
.sit.hqx) and with their original file name from your Web site or
intranet site. You must not supply the fonts, or any derivative fonts
based on them, in any form that adds value to commercial products,
such as CD-ROM or disk based multimedia programs, application software
or utilities." As of August 2002, however, the fonts are not
anymore available on the Web, which makes the situation clearer.
Aren't there any free high-quality scalable fonts? Yes, there are.
URW++, a German digital typefoundry, released their own version of the
35 Postscript Type 1 core fonts under GPL as their donation to the
Ghostscript project <http://www.gimp.org/fonts.html>. The Wadalab
Kanji comittee has produced Type 1 font files with thousands of
filigree Japanese glyphs <ftp:#ftp.ipl.t.u-tokyo.ac.jp/pub/Font/>.
Yannis Haralambous has drawn beautiful glyphs for the Omega
typesetting system <http://omega.cse.unsw.edu.au:8080/>. And so
on. Scattered around the internet there are numerous other free
resources for other national scripts, many of them aiming to be a
suitable match for Latin fonts like Times or Helvetica.
What do we plan to achieve, and how?
Our aim is to collect available resources, fill in the missing pieces,
and provide a set of free high-quality scalable (Type 1 and Truetype)
UCS fonts, released under GPL.
Free UCS scalable fonts will cover the following character sets
# ISO 8859 parts 1-15
# CEN MES-3 European Unicode Subset
http://www.evertype.com/standards/iso10646/pdf/cwa13873.pdf
# IBM/Microsoft code pages 437, 850, 852, 1250, 1252 and more
# Microsoft/Adobe Windows Glyph List 4 (WGL4)
http://partners.adobe.com/asn/developer/opentype/appendices/wgl4.html
# KOI8-R and KOI8-RU
# DEC VT100 graphics symbols
# International Phonetic Alphabet
# Arabic, Hebrew, Armenian, Georgian, Ethiopian, Thai and Lao alphabets,
including Arabic presentation forms A/B
# Japanese Katakana and Hiragana
# mathematical symbols, including the whole TeX repertoire of symbols
# APL symbols
etc.
A free Postscript font editor, George Williams's Pfaedit
<http://pfaedit.sourceforge.net/> will be used for creating new
glyphs.
Which font shapes should be made? As 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, a smaller subset of styles will
be made: one monospaced and two proportional (one with uniform stroke
and one with modulated) will be made at the start.
In the beginning, however, we don't believe that Truetype hinting will
be good enough to compete with neither the hand-crafted bitmapped
fonts at small sizes, nor with commercial TrueType fonts. A companion
program for modifying the TrueType font tables, TtfMod, is in the
works, though: <http://pfaedit.sourceforge.net/TtfMod/>. For
applications like xterm, users are referred to the existing UCS bitmap
fonts, <http://www.cl.cam.ac.uk/~mgk25/ucs-fonts.html>.
What do the file suffices mean?
The files with .sfd (Spline Font Database) are in PfaEdit's native
format. Please use these if you plan to modify the font files. PfaEdit
can export these to mostly any existing font file format.
TrueType fonts for immediate consumption are the files with the .ttf
(TrueType Font) suffix. You can use them directly, e.g. with the X
font server.
The files with .ps (PostScript) suffix are not font files at all -
they are merely PostScript files with glyph tables, which can be used
for overview, which glyphs are contained in which font file.
You may have noticed the lacking of PostScript Type 1 (.pfa/.pfb) font
files. Type 1 format does not support large (> 256) encoding vectors,
so they can not be used with ISO 10646 encoding. If your printer
supports it, you can use Type 0 format, though. Please use PfaEdit for
conversion to Type 0.
