What gives? - - Bitstream is giving away these fonts, but wishes to ensure its - competitors can't just drop the fonts as is into a font sale system - and sell them as is. It seems fair that if Bitstream can't make money - from the Bitstream Vera fonts, their competitors should not be able to - do so either. You can sell the fonts as part of any software package, - however. - - 2. I want to package these fonts separately for distribution and - sale as part of a larger software package or system. Can I do so? - - Yes. A RPM or Debian package is a "larger software package" to begin - with, and you aren't selling them independently by themselves. - See 1. above. - - 3. Are derivative works allowed? - Yes! - - 4. Can I change or add to the font(s)? - Yes, but you must change the name(s) of the font(s). - - 5. Under what terms are derivative works allowed? - - You must change the name(s) of the fonts. This is to ensure the - quality of the fonts, both to protect Bitstream and Gnome. We want to - ensure that if an application has opened a font specifically of these - names, it gets what it expects (though of course, using fontconfig, - substitutions could still could have occurred during font - opening). You must include the Bitstream copyright. Additional - copyrights can be added, as per copyright law. Happy Font Hacking! - - 6. If I have improvements for Bitstream Vera, is it possible they might get - adopted in future versions? - - Yes. The contract between the Gnome Foundation and Bitstream has - provisions for working with Bitstream to ensure quality additions to - the Bitstream Vera font family. Please contact us if you have such - additions. Note, that in general, we will want such additions for the - entire family, not just a single font, and that you'll have to keep - both Gnome and Jim Lyles, Vera's designer, happy! To make sense to add - glyphs to the font, they must be stylistically in keeping with Vera's - design. Vera cannot become a "ransom note" font. Jim Lyles will be - providing a document describing the design elements used in Vera, as a - guide and aid for people interested in contributing to Vera. - - 7. I want to sell a software package that uses these fonts: Can I do so? - - Sure. Bundle the fonts with your software and sell your software - with the fonts. That is the intent of the copyright. - - 8. If applications have built the names "Bitstream Vera" into them, - can I override this somehow to use fonts of my choosing? - - This depends on exact details of the software. Most open source - systems and software (e.g., Gnome, KDE, etc.) are now converting to - use fontconfig (see www.fontconfig.org) to handle font configuration, - selection and substitution; it has provisions for overriding font - names and subsituting alternatives. An example is provided by the - supplied local.conf file, which chooses the family Bitstream Vera for - "sans", "serif" and "monospace". Other software (e.g., the XFree86 - core server) has other mechanisms for font substitution. - diff --git a/nx-X11/extras/fonts/Bitstream-Vera/README.TXT b/nx-X11/extras/fonts/Bitstream-Vera/README.TXT deleted file mode 100644 index 0f71795a7..000000000 --- a/nx-X11/extras/fonts/Bitstream-Vera/README.TXT +++ /dev/null @@ -1,11 +0,0 @@ -Contained herin is the Bitstream Vera font family. - -The Copyright information is found in the COPYRIGHT.TXT file (along -with being incoporated into the fonts themselves). - -The releases notes are found in the file "RELEASENOTES.TXT". - -We hope you enjoy Vera! - - Bitstream, Inc. - The Gnome Project diff --git a/nx-X11/extras/fonts/Bitstream-Vera/RELEASENOTES.TXT b/nx-X11/extras/fonts/Bitstream-Vera/RELEASENOTES.TXT deleted file mode 100644 index 270bc0d40..000000000 --- a/nx-X11/extras/fonts/Bitstream-Vera/RELEASENOTES.TXT +++ /dev/null @@ -1,162 +0,0 @@ -Bitstream Vera Fonts - April 16, 2003 -===================================== - -The version number of these fonts is 1.10 to distinguish them from the -beta test fonts. - -Note that the Vera copyright is incorporated in the fonts themselves. -The License field in the fonts contains the copyright license as it -appears below. The TrueType copyright field is not large enough to -contain the full license, so the license is incorporated (as you might -think if you thought about it) into the license field, which -unfortunately can be obscure to find. (In pfaedit, see: Element->Font -Info->TTFNames->License). - -Our apologies for it taking longer to complete the fonts than planned. -Beta testers requested a tighter line spacing (less leading) and Jim -Lyles redesigned Vera's accents to bring its line spacing to more -typical of other fonts. This took additional time and effort. Our -thanks to Jim for this effort above and beyond the call of duty. - -There are four monospace and sans faces (normal, oblique, bold, bold -oblique) and two serif faces (normal and bold). Fontconfig/Xft2 (see -www.fontconfig.org) can artificially oblique the serif faces for you: -this loses hinting and distorts the faces slightly, but is visibly -different than normal and bold, and reasonably pleasing. - -On systems with fontconfig 2.0 or 2.1 installed, making your sans, -serif and monospace fonts default to these fonts is very easy. Just -drop the file local.conf into your /etc/fonts directory. This will -make the Bitstream fonts your default fonts for all applications using -fontconfig (if sans, serif, or monospace names are used, as they often -are as default values in many desktops). The XML in local.conf may -need modification to enable subpixel decimation, if appropriate, -however, the commented out phrase does so for XFree86 4.3, in the case -that the server does not have sufficient information to identify the -use of a flat panel. Fontconfig 2.2 adds Vera to the list of font -families and will, by default use it as the default sans, serif and -monospace fonts. - -During the testing of the final Vera fonts, we learned that screen -fonts in general are only typically hinted to work correctly at -integer pixel sizes. Vera is coded internally for integer sizes only. -We need to investigate further to see if there are commonly used fonts -that are hinted to be rounded but are not rounded to integer sizes due -to oversights in their coding. - -Most fonts work best at 8 pixels and below if anti-aliased only, as -the amount of work required to hint well at smaller and smaller sizes -becomes astronomical. GASP tables are typically used to control -whether hinting is used or not, but Freetype/Xft does not currently -support GASP tables (which are present in Vera). - -To mitigate this problem, both for Vera and other fonts, there will be -(very shortly) a new fontconfig 2.2 release that will, by default not -apply hints if the size is below 8 pixels. if you should have a font -that in fact has been hinted more agressively, you can use fontconfig -to note this exception. We believe this should improve many hinted -fonts in addition to Vera, though implemeting GASP support is likely -the right long term solution. - -Font rendering in Gnome or KDE is the combination of algorithms in -Xft2 and Freetype, along with hinting in the fonts themselves. It is -vital to have sufficient information to disentangle problems that you -may observe. - -Note that having your font rendering system set up correctly is vital -to proper judgement of problems of the fonts: - - * Freetype may or may not be configured to in ways that may - implement execution of possibly patented (in some parts of the world) - TrueType hinting algorithms, particularly at small sizes. Best - results are obtained while using these algorithms. - - * The freetype autohinter (used when the possibly patented - algorithms are not used) continues to improve with each release. If - you are using the autohinter, please ensure you are using an up to - date version of freetype before reporting problems. - - * Please identify what version of freetype you are using in any - bug reports, and how your freetype is configured. - - * Make sure you are not using the freetype version included in - XFree86 4.3, as it has bugs that significantly degrade most fonts, - including Vera. if you build XFree86 4.3 from source yourself, you may - have installed this broken version without intending it (as I - did). Vera was verified with the recently released Freetype 2.1.4. On - many systems, 'ldd" can be used to see which freetype shared library - is actually being used. - - * Xft/X Render does not (yet) implement gamma correction. This - causes significant problems rendering white text on a black background - (causing partial pixels to be insufficiently shaded) if the gamma of - your monitor has not been compensated for, and minor problems with - black text on a while background. The program "xgamma" can be used to - set a gamma correction value in the X server's color pallette. Most - monitors have a gamma near 2. - - * Note that the Vera family uses minimal delta hinting. Your - results on other systems when not used anti-aliased may not be - entirely satisfying. We are primarily interested in reports of - problems on open source systems implementing Xft2/fontconfig/freetype - (which implements antialiasing and hinting adjustements, and - sophisticated subpixel decimation on flatpanels). Also, the - algorithms used by Xft2 adjust the hints to integer widths and the - results are crisper on open source systems than on Windows or - MacIntosh. - - * Your fontconfig may (probably does) predate the release of - fontconfig 2.2, and you may see artifacts not present when the font is - used at very small sizes with hinting enabled. "vc-list -V" can be - used to see what version you have installed. - -We believe and hope that these fonts will resolve the problems -reported during beta test. The largest change is the reduction of -leading (interline spacing), which had annoyed a number of people, and -reduced Vera's utility for some applcations. The Vera monospace font -should also now make '0' and 'O' and '1' and 'l' more clearly -distinguishable. - -The version of these fonts is version 1.10. Fontconfig should be -choosing the new version of the fonts if both the released fonts and -beta test fonts are installed (though please discard them: they have -names of form tt20[1-12]gn.ttf). Note that older versions of -fontconfig sometimes did not rebuild their cache correctly when new -fonts are installed: please upgrade to fontconfig 2.2. "fc-cache -f" -can be used to force rebuilding fontconfig's cache files. - -If you note problems, please send them to fonts at gnome dot org, with -exactly which face and size and unicode point you observe the problem -at. The xfd utility from XFree86 CVS may be useful for this (e.g. "xfd --fa sans"). A possibly more useful program to examine fonts at a -variety of sizes is the "waterfall" program found in Keith Packard's -CVS. - - $ cvs -d :pserver:anoncvs@keithp.com:/local/src/CVS login - Logging in to :pserver:anoncvs@keithp.com:2401/local/src/CVS - CVS password: <hit return> - $ cvs -d :pserver:anoncvs@keithp.com:/local/src/CVS co waterfall - $ cd waterfall - $ xmkmf -a - $ make - # make install - # make install.man - -Again, please make sure you are running an up-to-date freetype, and -that you are only examining integer sizes. - -Reporting Problems -================== - -Please send problem reports to fonts at gnome org, with the following -information: - - 1.
