[Pkg-fonts-devel] RFP: Free Educative Handwritung Fonts
Dear Debian Font Task Force,
I'd like to draw your attention to
http://bugs.skolelinux.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1279
and hope that you can, please, give some assistance in
getting further free fonts into Debian [Edu] that are valuable for educative
usage (schools using Skolelinux e.g.).
There are many comments on this RFP bug, and probably I should file a similar
report to bugs.debian.org. For now (being short of time), I leave it with a
short summary here:
Debian using schools need educative fonts. I'm in contact with a free font
designer who commited a lot of work to a free version of different
handwriting/script fonts - including German "Vereinfachte Ausgangsschrift"
which is used in most primary schools here. Those fonts are under free
license, and to be released soon; for Debian Edu/Skolelinux, having these
fonts in Debian, is a preposition for deploying these fonts with the upcoming,
edge based version of Skolelinux.
Thank you for any assitance,
Regards
Ralf, teaching FOSS activist
P.S.: Of course, we could provide Fontforge's source format - I might even
have an SVN account on Alioth - but it would take some time until I'd achieve
commitments there.
