Open-source typefaces

"NimbusRomanNo4", "NimbusRomanNo9", and "NimbusRomNo9L" (three apparent Times New Roman clones. In fact, there are subtle differences between the three, but does anyone know what the justification for each one is?)

Sorry to reply to myself, but on further inspection, I should amend this. All three Nimbus Roman types appear to be based on Linotype Times Roman. Some interesting differences between the three, however:

• No9 L is almost imperceptibly lighter than the other two but in different ways: No9 seems to have fractionally darker vertical strokes, whereas No4 has fractionally darker horizontals.
• No9 has italicized Greek characters, whereas both No9L and No4 have regular ones. (No9L also supports only those Greek characters appearing in the Latin-1 charset, whereas the other two have more.)
• I believe No4 has a very (very) slightly lower caps height than the other two.

  As far as "A030" and "Nimbus Sans L", the latter supports Cyrillic while the former does not. They otherwise seem largely identical, although I haven't done a rigorous inspection.

  I apologize if all this seems pedantic but I haven't been able to find much other information on the lineage of these various faces (esp. Nimbus Roman). Wikipedia isn't very informative, and Google mostly seems to have download links rather than background.

@altsan: Why can’t you start a new thread? Are you following the proper steps? There appears to be nothing wrong with your account…

Send me an email and we can start a screenshare so I can watch what is happening in real time.

I was planning to (try to) sort out the Ghostscript fonts once the local general store brought in some round tuits...

A028 looks like the images I have seen of Albertus, but the 'M' is deeper.

A030... Nimbus Mono with some Arial slathered on?

The closest match I have ever found to Garamond No8 is Bitstream's "Original Garamond BT", and both look similar to Stempel Garamond.

@Chris Well I'll be mogadored, I tried yet again and it worked this time! Maybe you managed to get TPTB to do the magic incantation; if so, thanks! I sure didn't do anything differently this time around...

I'll see if it keeps working, anyway. :)

Thank you again.

- Regular, Italic and Bold styles
- All iKerned
- Initial v1.0 release

I found ZERO kerning pairs.

[PabloImpallari]

Renaissance Man:
We have used GPOS based kerning, instead of the old Kerning table.
So the 'kern' table is no longer present.
All the kerning pairs are contained only into the 'kern' OT feature.
This method is better for web-fonts since you get a smaller file size, and the font will load faster on the web.

I've updated the description now, to make it clear and avoid confusions.

[Michel Boyer]

You can easily list the GPOS/GSUB features contained in a font with the line command otfinfo -f (otfinfo comes with MacTeX and, I presume, with texlive for the PC); here are just three options for otfinfo (there are many more):

Usage: otfinfo [-sfzpg | OPTIONS] [OTFFILES...]
Query options:
  -s, --scripts                Report font’s supported scripts.
  -f, --features               Report font’s GSUB/GPOS features.
  -z, --optical-size           Report font’s optical size information.

and here is the relevant trace:

frac	Fractions
kern	Kerning

@Pablo – A few files in the archive (*.txt and the Italic sources) had the mode 755 instead of 644. Maybe OS-X has some strange uses for the exe-bits I know nothing of...

Anyway, seems it's testing time. (Chibi-Rowan rubs 's tiny little chibi-hands together in glee, a manic grin on 's chibified face...)

  2. IM Fell OTF and TTF may both be installed at the same time due to slight naming differences.
  3. Displayed licensing does not always match between OTF and TTF versions of GFS faces.
  4. Many GFS faces lack Latin characters.

[Thomas Phinney]

Congrats on compiling all the info.

Your key refers to MUFI but doesn't tell what MUFI is, and defines UNZ1 in terms of MUFI.... Maybe offering links for these two items would be a good idea?

[Té Rowan]

Reckon it's true. I may have intended to do so, but short-term memory tends to be just that.

[Té Rowan]

Likely the last post of this year.

    UNZ1:   Subset of MUFI, details Unicode PUA codes for German special glyphs

Version:
    The font/face version given is that of the Regular weight or closest equivalent.

Peculiarities:
 1. In many ADF faces, AE, Ae, ae, OE, Oe and oe are ligated globally via 'rlig'.
 2. IM Fell OTF and TTF may both be installed at the same time due to slight naming differences.
 3. Displayed licensing does not always match between OTF and TTF versions of GFS faces.
 4. Many GFS faces lack Latin characters.

Reamining random bits of information:

    MUFI: Medieval Unicode Font Initiative (http://www.mufi.info/)
    UNZ1: Unicode-gerechte Norm für Zusatzzeichen, Ausgabe 1 (http://www.bfds.de/)

[ChristTrekker]

For some weird reason though that seems to happen almost exclusively with free fonts...

I usually find myself wanting to add a "few" characters that I'd really, really like to use but are not provided. (I make use of unusual punctuation marks, and fractions, and long S, and computing/astronomy symbols, and smiles/dingbats/emoji, etc.) I've had occasions when I had to change my plans because a font didn't have the repertoire I needed.

My only two released fonts are under Open Font License. I've contributed a few glyphs to EB Garamond, another open source typeface.

[Dan Gayle]

More handy than a list of Open Source fonts would be a list of professionally designed open source fonts.

Off of the top of my head, included on that list would be:

• Bitstream Vera
• Bitstream Charter
• The URW++ fonts
• Utopia
• Adobe Source Pro

[Té Rowan]

You mean OS fonts made by folks that make their living off making fonts, right? You'll then want to add Paratype's PT Sans/Serif and the Ubuntu sans-serif (commissioned from Dalton-Maag).

[Dan Gayle]

You're correct, those do belong on the list as well, although the Ubuntu font is really their Aller font, right?

[Té Rowan]

Dunno... They look rather different to me. For whatever reason I think of Aller as a print face, while Ubuntu is definitely a screen face.

[charles_e]

Aller and Ubuntu are different type families, and most importantly, have different licenses. As I read it, the free version of Aller is limited to 25 users, where 25 visitors to a website counts as "25 users."

[gargoyle]

Regarding Aller as a webfont, Dalton Maag considers 1 desktop user to be the equivalent of 1,000 unique website visitors per day, with some wiggle room for traffic spikes.
http://www.daltonmaag.com/about/web_embedding_faq.html

But, more to the point of this thread, Aller is not an open source font; it's covered by Dalton Maag's standard EULA (supplemented with the Aller Free License), which does not allow modification. The Ubuntu font is covered by its own open source license which is based on the SIL OFL.

[charles_e]

Guess that's right, though confusing to me. From http://www.fontsquirrel.com/license/Aller (Emphasis added)

1 You, the Licensee, are granted the right by Dalton Maag to Use the Aller Font Family, Standard Edition under the terms set out in the EULA. This free licence has a Licensed Unit size of 25 Users.

2 Use by more than 25 Users, or equivalent Website Visitors, is a breach of this Free Licence Agreement, and instead requires a commercial licence.

Fontsquirrel Note: 1000 website visitors is the equivalent of 1 user - http://www.daltonmaag.com/about/web_embedding_faq.html
