Chris@909: # URW++ Design & Development GmbH <http://www.urwpp.de/>
Chris@909: 
Chris@909: URW++ donated a set of 35 core PostScript Type 1 fonts to the
Chris@909: Ghostscript project <http://www.cs.wisc.edu/~ghost/>, to be available
Chris@909: under the terms of GNU General Public License (GPL).

Chris@909:   Plaice <plaice AT omega.cse.unsw.edu.au>
Chris@909: 
Chris@909: Yannis Haralambous and John Plaice are the authors of Omega
Chris@909: typesetting system, <http://omega.cse.unsw.edu.au/>. Omega is an
Chris@909: extension of TeX. Its first release, aims primarily at improving TeX's
Chris@909: multilingual abilities. In Omega all characters and pointers into
Chris@909: data-structures are 16-bit wide, instead of 8-bit, thereby eliminating
Chris@909: many of the trivial limitations of TeX. Omega also allows multiple
Chris@909: input and output character sets, and uses programmable filters to
Chris@909: translate from one encoding to another, to perform contextual
Chris@909: analysis, etc. Internally, Omega uses the universal 16-bit Unicode
Chris@909: standard character set, based on ISO-10646. These improvements not
Chris@909: only make it a lot easier for TeX users to cope with multiple or
Chris@909: complex languages, like Arabic, Indic, Khmer, Chinese, Japanese or
Chris@909: Korean, in one document, but will also form the basis for future
Chris@909: developments in other areas, such as native color support and
Chris@909: hypertext features. ... Fonts for UT1 (omlgc family) and UT2 (omah
Chris@909: family) are under development: these fonts are in PostScript format
Chris@909: and visually close to Times and Helvetica font families. (from the
Chris@909: Omega WWW site). Omega fonts are available subject to GPL

Chris@909: # Wadalab Kanji Comittee
Chris@909: 
Chris@909: Between April 1990 and March 1992, Wadalab Kanji Comittee put together
Chris@909: a series of scalable font files with Japanese scripts, in four forms:
Chris@909: Sai Micho, Chu Mincho, Cho Kaku and Saimaru. The font files are
Chris@909: written in custom file format, while tools for conversion into
Chris@909: Metafont and PostScript Type 1 are also supplied. The Wadalab Kanji
Chris@909: Comittee has later been dismissed, and the resulting files can be now
Chris@909: found on the FTP server of the Depertment of Mathematical Engineering

Chris@909: # Young U. Ryu <ryoung AT utdallas.edu>
Chris@909: 
Chris@909: Young Ryu is the author of Txfonts, a set of mathematical symbols
Chris@909: designed to accompany text typeset in Times or its variants. In the
Chris@909: documentation, Young adresses the design of mathematical symbols: "The
Chris@909: Adobe Times fonts are thicker than the CM fonts. Designing math fonts
Chris@909: for Times based on the rule thickness of Times = , , + , / , < ,
Chris@909: etc. would result in too thick math symbols, in my opinion. In the TX
Chris@909: fonts, these glyphs are thinner than those of original Times
Chris@909: fonts. That is, the rule thickness of these glyphs is around 85% of
Chris@909: that of the Times fonts, but still thicker than that of the CM fonts."
Chris@909: TX fonts are are distributed under the GNU public license
Chris@909: (GPL). Pointers to their location are available on
