- Ghostscript project <http://www.ghostscript.com/>, to be available
- under the terms of GNU General Public License (GPL).
- Basic Latin (U+0041-U+007A)

- * Yannis Haralambous <yannis.haralambous AT enst-bretagne.fr> and John
- Plaice <plaice AT omega.cse.unsw.edu.au>
- Yannis Haralambous and John Plaice are the authors of Omega typesetting
- system, <http://omega.enstb.org/>. Omega is an extension of TeX.
- Its first release, aims primarily at improving TeX's multilingual abilities.
- In Omega all characters and pointers into data-structures are 16-bit wide,
- instead of 8-bit, thereby eliminating many of the trivial limitations of TeX.
- Omega also allows multiple input and output character sets, and uses
- programmable filters to translate from one encoding to another, to perform
- contextual analysis, etc. Internally, Omega uses the universal 16-bit Unicode
- standard character set, based on ISO-10646. These improvements not only make
- it a lot easier for TeX users to cope with multiple or complex languages,
- like Arabic, Indic, Khmer, Chinese, Japanese or Korean, in one document, but
- will also form the basis for future developments in other areas, such as
- native color support and hypertext features. ... Fonts for UT1 (omlgc family)
- and UT2 (omah family) are under development: these fonts are in PostScript
- format and visually close to Times and Helvetica font families.
- Omega fonts are available subject to GPL
- Latin Extended-B (U+0180-U+024F)
- IPA Extensions (U+0250-U+02AF)
- Greek (U+0370-U+03FF)

- * Valek Filippov <frob AT df.ru>
- Valek Filippov added Cyrillic glyphs and composite Latin Extended A to
- the whole set of the abovementioned URW set of 35 PostScript core fonts,
- <ftp://ftp.gnome.ru/fonts/>. The fonts are available under GPL.
- (The Cyrillic range was since replaced by another font.)
- Latin Extended-A (U+0100-U+017F)
- * Wadalab Kanji Comittee
- Between April 1990 and March 1992, Wadalab Kanji Comittee put together a
- series of scalable font files with Japanese scripts, in four forms:
- Sai Micho, Chu Mincho, Cho Kaku and Saimaru.
- The font files are written in custom file format, while tools for conversion
- into Metafont and PostScript Type 1 are also supplied. The Wadalab Kanji
- Comittee was later dismissed. The resulting files were once found on the FTP
- server of the Department of Mathematical Engineering and Information Physics,
- Faculty of Engineering, University of Tokyo. Some of these are available at
- <http://www.ctan.org/tex-archive/fonts/wadalab>

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