  23 * Yannis Haralambous <yannis.haralambous AT enst-bretagne.fr> and John
  24   Plaice <plaice AT omega.cse.unsw.edu.au>
  25
  26 Yannis Haralambous and John Plaice are the authors of Omega typesetting
  27 system, <http://omega.enstb.org/>. Omega is an extension of TeX.
  28 Its first release, aims primarily at improving TeX's multilingual abilities.
  29 In Omega all characters and pointers into data-structures are 16-bit wide,
  30 instead of 8-bit, thereby eliminating many of the trivial limitations of TeX.
  31 Omega also allows multiple input and output character sets, and uses
  32 programmable filters to translate from one encoding to another, to perform
  33 contextual analysis, etc. Internally, Omega uses the universal 16-bit Unicode
  34 standard character set, based on ISO-10646. These improvements not only make
  35 it a lot easier for TeX users to cope with multiple or complex languages,
  36 like Arabic, Indic, Khmer, Chinese, Japanese or Korean, in one document, but
  37 will also form the basis for future developments in other areas, such as
  38 native color support and hypertext features. ... Fonts for UT1 (omlgc family)
  39 and UT2 (omah family) are under development: these fonts are in PostScript
  40 format and visually close to Times and Helvetica font families.
  41 Omega fonts are available subject to GPL

  65 * Wadalab Kanji Comittee
  66
  67 Between April 1990 and March 1992, Wadalab Kanji Comittee put together
  68 a series of scalable font files with Japanese scripts, in four forms:
  69 Sai Micho, Chu Mincho, Cho Kaku and Saimaru. The font files are
  70 written in custom file format, while tools for conversion into
  71 Metafont and PostScript Type 1 are also supplied. The Wadalab Kanji
  72 Comittee has later been dismissed, and the resulting files can be now
  73 found on the FTP server of the Depertment of Mathematical Engineering
  74 and Information Physics, Faculty of Engineering, University of Tokyo

  81 * Young U. Ryu <ryoung AT utdallas.edu>
  82
  83 Young Ryu is the author of Txfonts, a set of mathematical symbols
  84 designed to accompany text typeset in Times or its variants. In the
  85 documentation, Young adresses the design of mathematical symbols: "The
  86 Adobe Times fonts are thicker than the CM fonts. Designing math fonts
  87 for Times based on the rule thickness of Times = , , + , / , < ,
  88 etc. would result in too thick math symbols, in my opinion. In the TX
  89 fonts, these glyphs are thinner than those of original Times
  90 fonts. That is, the rule thickness of these glyphs is around 85% of
  91 that of the Times fonts, but still thicker than that of the CM fonts."
  92 TX fonts are are distributed under the GNU public license (GPL).

 315 a free syriac font, whose glyphs (about half of them) are borrowed
 316 from the "Carlo Ator" font freely downloadable from
 317 <http://www.aacf.asso.fr/>. Vyacheslav also filled in a few missing
 318 spots in the U+2000-U+27FF area, e.g. the box drawing section, sets of

 356  Produced by DMS
 357 Electronics for The Sri Lanka Tipitaka Project" (taken from the font
 358 comment), and took the effort of recoding the font to Unicode.
 359
 360 These glyphs were later replaced by those from the LKLUG font
 361 <http://www.lug.lk/fonts/lklug>
 362
 363 Finally the range was completely replaced by glyphs from the sinh TeX
 364 font, with much help and advice from Harshula Jayasuriya.

 390 `Rachana' in Malayalam means `to write', `to create'. Rachana Akshara Vedi,
 391 a team of socially committed information technology professionals and
 392 philologists, has applied developments in computer technology and desktop
 393 publishing to resurrect the Malayalam language from the disorder,
 394 fragmentation and degeneration it had suffered since the attempt to adapt
 395 the Malayalam script for using with a regular mechanical typewriter, which
 396 took place in 1967-69. K.H. Hussein at the Kerala Forest Research Institute
 397 has released "Rachana Normal" fonts with approximately 900 glyphs required
 398 to typeset traditional Malayalam. R. Chitrajan apparently encoded the
 399 glyphs in the OpenType table.
 400
 401 In 2008, the Malayalam ranges in FreeSerif were updated under the advise
 402 and supervision of Hiran Venugopalan of Swathanthra Malayalam Computing,
 403 to reflect the revised edition Rachana_04.

 445 In December 2005 the team at www.gnowledge.org released a set of two
 446 Unicode pan-Indic fonts: "Samyak" and "Samyak Sans". "Samyak" font
 447 belongs to serif style and is an original work of the team; "Samyak
 448 Sans" font belongs to sans serif style and is actually a compilation
 449 of already released Indic fonts (Gargi, Padma, Mukti, Utkal, Akruti
 450 and ThendralUni). Both fonts are based on Unicode standard. You can

 479 created the following UCS blocks:

 499 Submitted a very thorough survey of glyph problems and other suggestions.

 501 * Alexey Kryukov
 502
 503 Made the TemporaLCGUni fonts, based on the URW++ fonts, from which at one
 504 point FreeSerif Cyrillic, and some of the Greek, was drawn.  He also provided
 505 valuable direction about Cyrillic and Greek typesetting.
 506
 507 * George Douros
 508
 509 The creator of several fonts focusing on ancient scripts and symbols.
 510 Many of the glyphs are created by making outlines from scanned images

 520 * Daniel Johnson
 521
 522 Created by hand a Cherokee range specially for FreeFont to be "in line with
 523 the classic Cherokee typefaces used in 19th century printing", but also to
 524 fit well with ranges previously in FreeFont.  Then he made Unified Canadian
 525 Syllabics in Sans, and a Cherokee and Kayah Li in Mono!  And never to be
 526 outdone by himself, then did UCAS Extended and Osmanya....  What next?

 541   The Wellcome Institute for the History of Medicine
 542   183 Euston Road, London NW1 2BE, England.
 543 commissioned Mr. Haralambous to produce a Sinhalese font for them.
 544
 545 We have received 03/09 official notice from Robert Kiley, Head of e-Strategy
 546 for the Wellcome Library, that Yannis' font could be included in GNU
 547 FreeFont under its GNU license.

 556 The Sinhala font project has taken the glyphs from Yannis Haralambous'

 558 were for a while included in FreeFont.

 574
 575 Notes:
 576
 577 *: The glyph collection looks license-compatible, but its author has
 578    not yet replied and agreed on their work being used in part of
 579    this glyph collection.
