                          GNU FreeFont

The GNU FreeFont project aims to provide a useful set of free scalable
(i.e., OpenType) fonts covering as much as possible of the ISO 10646/Unicode
UCS (Universal Character Set).

Statement of Purpose
--------------------

The practical reason for putting glyphs together in a single font face is
to conveniently mix symbols and characters from different writing systems,
without having to switch fonts.

Editing
-------

The free outline font editor, George Williams' FontForge
<http://fontforge.sourceforge.net/> is used for editing the fonts.

Licensing
---------

Free UCS scalable fonts is free software; you can redistribute it and/or

(at your option) any later version.

The fonts are distributed in the hope that they will be useful, but

As a special exception, if you create a document which uses this font, and
embed this font or unaltered portions of this font into the document, this
font does not by itself cause the resulting document to be covered by the
GNU General Public License. This exception does not however invalidate any
other reasons why the document might be covered by the GNU General Public
License. If you modify this font, you may extend this exception to your
version of the font, but you are not obligated to do so.  If you do not
wish to do so, delete this exception statement from your version.

Files and their suffixes
------------------------

The files with .sfd (Spline Font Database) are in FontForge's native format. 
They may be used to modify the fonts.

TrueType fonts are the files with the .ttf (TrueType Font) suffix.  These
are ready to use in Linux/Unix, on Apple Mac OS, and on Microsoft Windows
systems.

OpenType fonts (with suffix .otf) are preferred for use on Linux/Unix,
but *not* for recent Microsoft Windows systems.
See the INSTALL file for more information.
