59 | Copyright FAQ | ||
60 | ============= | ||
61 | |||
62 | 1. I don't understand the resale restriction... What gives? | ||
63 | |||
64 | Bitstream is giving away these fonts, but wishes to ensure its | ||
65 | competitors can't just drop the fonts as is into a font sale system | ||
66 | and sell them as is. It seems fair that if Bitstream can't make money | ||
67 | from the Bitstream Vera fonts, their competitors should not be able to | ||
68 | do so either. You can sell the fonts as part of any software package, | ||
69 | however. | ||
70 | |||
71 | 2. I want to package these fonts separately for distribution and | ||
72 | sale as part of a larger software package or system. Can I do so? | ||
73 | |||
74 | Yes. A RPM or Debian package is a "larger software package" to begin | ||
75 | with, and you aren't selling them independently by themselves. | ||
76 | See 1. above. | ||
77 | |||
78 | 3. Are derivative works allowed? | ||
79 | Yes! | ||
80 | |||
81 | 4. Can I change or add to the font(s)? | ||
82 | Yes, but you must change the name(s) of the font(s). | ||
83 | |||
84 | 5. Under what terms are derivative works allowed? | ||
85 | |||
86 | You must change the name(s) of the fonts. This is to ensure the | ||
87 | quality of the fonts, both to protect Bitstream and Gnome. We want to | ||
88 | ensure that if an application has opened a font specifically of these | ||
89 | names, it gets what it expects (though of course, using fontconfig, | ||
90 | substitutions could still could have occurred during font | ||
91 | opening). You must include the Bitstream copyright. Additional | ||
92 | copyrights can be added, as per copyright law. Happy Font Hacking! | ||
93 | |||
94 | 6. If I have improvements for Bitstream Vera, is it possible they might get | ||
95 | adopted in future versions? | ||
96 | |||
97 | Yes. The contract between the Gnome Foundation and Bitstream has | ||
98 | provisions for working with Bitstream to ensure quality additions to | ||
99 | the Bitstream Vera font family. Please contact us if you have such | ||
100 | additions. Note, that in general, we will want such additions for the | ||
101 | entire family, not just a single font, and that you'll have to keep | ||
102 | both Gnome and Jim Lyles, Vera's designer, happy! To make sense to add | ||
103 | glyphs to the font, they must be stylistically in keeping with Vera's | ||
104 | design. Vera cannot become a "ransom note" font. Jim Lyles will be | ||
105 | providing a document describing the design elements used in Vera, as a | ||
106 | guide and aid for people interested in contributing to Vera. | ||
107 | |||
108 | 7. I want to sell a software package that uses these fonts: Can I do so? | ||
109 | |||
110 | Sure. Bundle the fonts with your software and sell your software | ||
111 | with the fonts. That is the intent of the copyright. | ||
112 | |||
113 | 8. If applications have built the names "Bitstream Vera" into them, | ||
114 | can I override this somehow to use fonts of my choosing? | ||
115 | |||
116 | This depends on exact details of the software. Most open source | ||
117 | systems and software (e.g., Gnome, KDE, etc.) are now converting to | ||
118 | use fontconfig (see www.fontconfig.org) to handle font configuration, | ||
119 | selection and substitution; it has provisions for overriding font | ||
120 | names and subsituting alternatives. An example is provided by the | ||
121 | supplied local.conf file, which chooses the family Bitstream Vera for | ||
122 | "sans", "serif" and "monospace". Other software (e.g., the XFree86 | ||
123 | core server) has other mechanisms for font substitution. | ||

129 | |||
130 | Majority of Multi-Line text editing is in | ||
131 | the commit. Also added some specific free | ||
132 | fonts to replace the existing set as we | ||
133 | need some additional font metrics that we | ||
134 | use in the Text Editing rendering | ||
135 | pipeline. | ||
136 | |||
137 | You can see the font licenses in the | ||
138 | editor/fonts folder under each font. | ||
139 | |||
140 | Still have some cleanup to do to add the | ||
141 | text formatting (left,right,center) as | ||
142 | ... | ||
