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

57Valek Filippov added Cyrillic glyphs and composite Latin Extended A to
58the whole set of the abovementioned URW set of 35 PostScript core fonts,

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

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

101Angelo Haritsis has compiled a set of Greek Type 1 fonts, once available as
102as a tarball named greekXfonts-Type1-1.1.tgz.
103The glyphs from this source have been used to compose Greek glyphs in
104FreeSans and FreeMono.
105
106Angelo's licence says: "You can enjoy free use of these fonts for
107educational or commercial purposes.  All derived works should include
108this paragraph.  If you want to change something please let me have
109your changes (via email) so that they can go into the next

279and can be reached at <ethiop AT informatik.uni-hamburg.de>. The current
280version of fonts is 0.7 (1998), and they are released under GNU GPL. I
281converted the fonts to Type 1 format using Péter Szabó's TeXtrace-A

310Vyacheslav Dikonov made a Braille unicode font that could be merged
311with the UCS fonts to fill the 2800-28FF range completely. (uniform
312scaling is possible to adapt it to any cell size). He also contributed
313a free syriac font, whose glyphs (about half of them) are borrowed
314from the "Carlo Ator" font by Tim Erickson.
315Vyacheslav also filled in a few missing
316spots in the U+2000-U+27FF area, e.g. the box drawing section, sets of

359<http://www.metta.lk/fonts/> are released under GNU GPL, or,
360precisely, "Public Domain under GNU Licence
361 Produced by DMS
362Electronics for The Sri Lanka Tipitaka Project" (taken from the font
363comment), and took the effort of recoding the font to Unicode.
364
365These glyphs were later replaced by those from the LKLUG font
366<http://www.lug.lk/fonts/lklug>
367
368Finally the range was completely replaced by glyphs from the sinh TeX

395`Rachana' in Malayalam means `to write', `to create'. Rachana Akshara Vedi,
396a team of socially committed information technology professionals and
397philologists, has applied developments in computer technology and desktop
398publishing to resurrect the Malayalam language from the disorder,
399fragmentation and degeneration it had suffered since the attempt to adapt
400the Malayalam script for using with a regular mechanical typewriter, which
401took place in 1967-69. K.H. Hussein at the Kerala Forest Research Institute
402has released "Rachana Normal" fonts with approximately 900 glyphs required
403to typeset traditional Malayalam. R. Chitrajan apparently encoded the
404glyphs in the OpenType table.
405
406In 2008, the Malayalam ranges in FreeSerif were updated under the advise
407and supervision of Hiran Venugopalan of Swathanthra Malayalam Computing,
408to reflect the revised edition Rachana_04.

450In December 2005 the team at www.gnowledge.org released a set of two
451Unicode pan-Indic fonts: "Samyak" and "Samyak Sans". "Samyak" font
452belongs to serif style and is an original work of the team; "Samyak
453Sans" font belongs to sans serif style and is actually a compilation
454of already released Indic fonts (Gargi, Padma, Mukti, Utkal, Akruti
455and ThendralUni). Both fonts are based on Unicode standard.
