Summary: Obtain some OpenType fonts for testing

Platform: Other
OS/Version: other
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: P2
Component: fonts
AssignedTo: fop-dev@xmlgraphics.apache.org

The fonts could be crippled if they want, for example by removing portions of

Unfortunetely the fonts I've just mentioned are GPL, but maybe we can ask the freefont people to provide
downloadable OTF versions?

FYI, Harmony got a green light for using the DejaVu fonts:
http://mail-archives.apache.org/mod_mbox/www-legal-discuss/200707.mbox/%3cc3755b3a0707170028n648b5f8clce80ca0be58dd854@mail.gmail.com%3e
Means, we can use them, too.

Stixfonts are now available:
www.stixfonts.org
according to their page the license is liberal enough to be included with OSS
projects, but it may be a good idea to check with apache legal.

Free fonts can be found at:
http://www.nongnu.org/freefont/
Unfortunately they are not for immediate download in otf format, but can be converted using:
http://fontforge.sourceforge.net/

Just because I am really happy about this fact, I've downloaded the dejavu
sources and converted them to otf. The results are available at:
http://max.berger.name/tmp/dejavu-otf-2.18.zip
(7.7MB, for a limited time)
Steps to reproduce:
- download recent fontforge
- download dejavu sfd sources
- modify generate.pe to produce .otf instead of .ttf
- run generate.sh, ingore error in postprocess script
- results are in generated/
To test all OTF features, the generation may have to be run with different
parameters, which would require more modification to the .pe file. I am not sure
which features are present in these files.

I've emailed the following companies to ask for a possible donation of some
fonts for testing purposes:
http://www.underware.nl/ - info (at) underware.nl
http://www.emigre.com - info (at) emigre.com
Let's hope these info@ addresses go somewhere else than the spamcan...

Both companies from comment #3 have replied negatively.
One of them suggested trying the OpenType mailing list, either
http://topica.com/lists/opentype/read or opentype-list@indx.co.uk .

The DejaVu Fonts have a very liberal license which may be compatible with the ASL:
http://dejavu.sourceforge.net/wiki/index.php/License
The are also available for download in SFD (FontForge) format, which can be used to create OpenType
fonts.
Also, the Stixfonts (bug #40468) are now scheduled for a beta release for the end of this month. Be
warned though, that previous promised dates have always been pushed back.
