> Hi > > http://www.press.redhat.com/2007/05/09/liberation-fonts/ > > Red Hat has released Liberation fonts under the GPL+ fonts exception > license. Liberation fonts are metric equivalent to key Microsoft fonts. > This is a major milestone and significantly enhances the > interoperability of documents and content under these Microsoft fonts in > Linux. > > Red Hat has included third party licensed fonts in the > extras/supplementary channel for this purpose to Red Hat Enterprise > Linux customers before. Some end users have been building packages with > the restricted Microsoft core fonts but these have only been only short > term solutions. What has been provided now closes one of the significant > usabilit gaps for the Free software world and Fedora out of the box. > > The initial font sets include Latin, Greek and Cyrillic characters and > lacks hinting. The next update is planned to have hinting and support > for other locales. > > They are available now in the Fedora 7 Preview Live DVD specially > created for the Red Hat summit. I believe the plan it to make these > available in the Fedora repository via the regular review process. Enjoy! > > Rahul > Credit to Red Hat as always for helping out the community.
