Comment A common set of open fonts for the freedesktop (Score 1) 282
The dependency on restricted non-modifiable fonts for web and print needs to be reduced....
Every script should have a free as in freedom working implementation.
Thankfully there are efforts underway to create a common open font set for the free desktop:
Check out the growing collection of open fonts released on the Unifont fontguide and the OFL font catalog". The freedesktop wiki lists the beginnings of a common open font set . The page needs updating though as some fonts have been released/freed since the last change.
We now have the community-approved license for fonts: the Open Font License , a growing community of open font designers a community of distribution packagers and a growing toolkit to do font design collaboratively.
Let's see what happens.
