Bitstream and the Gnome Project have worked to release a set of Open
Source fonts. The notion was to provide a free set of fonts which could
be used on Open Source operating systems unlike the "free" fonts which
Microsoft recently pulled from their web site. These are standard True
Type Fonts (.TTF) which can be installed on Microsoft Windows as well as
X Windows.
The Bitstream Vera Sans Mono font is not as well populated as other
Unicode True Type Fonts however it is extremely readable. One of the
nice things about the license is that the font may be modified and
redistributed without royalties. Perhaps someone will add the terminal
graphics.
You can read the license and download the fonts from
http://www.gnome.org/fonts/
You will need 'gunzip' and 'tar' in order to expand the distribution.
Perhaps Frank will be willing to place the expanded files on the Kermit
ftp site.
