- 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!
