ased
Gentium under a<BR>free/open-source license - the SIL Open Font License (OFL). This will give<BR>much greater freedom to everyone using the fonts, and allow for easier<BR>inclusion in free, open-source and commercial software packages.<BR><BR>The only changes we've made in addition to the licensing change were a<BR>couple of bug fixes releated to PostScript glyph names and to the reported<BR>italic angle.<BR><BR>All of this can be found at<BR><BR>http://scripts.sil.org/gentium<BR><BR>We know that many of you have been waiting for eons for Bold and Bold<BR>Italic, more ancient Greek letters (like the digamma), etc. We have been<BR>working on these (very sporadically) over the last couple of years, but<BR>they're not ready yet. We hope to have a greatly improved set of Regular and<BR>Italic out mid next year, and then work on completing the additional<BR>weights.<BR><BR>In the meantime, if the lack of one letter is hindering you, the OFL now<BR>gives you the freedom to change
the
fonts, and even distribute modified<BR>versions - with some conditions. We also warmly welcome your submissions of<BR>work to be included in the main Gentium project. See the Status page on the<BR>web site for details.<BR><BR>Thanks for your continued interest in Gentium.<BR><BR><BR>Victor Gaultney<BR>Gentium /at/ sil.org<BR><BR><BR><BR>#############################################################<BR>This message is sent to you because you are subscribed to<BR>the mailing list <GENTIUM-ANNOUNCE@LISTS.SIL.ORG>.<BR>To unsubscribe, E-mail to: <GENTIUM-ANNOUNCE-OFF@LISTS.SIL.ORG><BR>Send administrative queries to gentium@sil.org<BR><BR><BR><BR></BLOCKQUOTE> <DIV><BR></DIV><p>
