This project is part of the GNU Project.

We aim to provide a useful set of free outline (i.e. OpenType) fonts covering as much as possible of the Unicode character set. The set consists of three typefaces: one monospaced and two proportional (one with uniform and one with modulated stroke).

CVS merged with Debian sources
     posted by Stevan_White, Mon 11 Feb 2008 07:49:28 PM UTC - 0 replies

The svn/ directory of Freefont has been brought up to date with the sources in the Debian ttf-freefont package, which has been updated independently of Freefont for several years now.

I have set a CVS symbolic tag in the .svn files, named
DEBIAN_MERGE_2008
to mark the revisions that comprise this update.

With this merge, it should be possible for Freefont development to continue unhindered.
