It seems fair that if Bitstream can't make money 67*4882a593Smuzhiyunfrom the Bitstream Vera fonts, their competitors should not be able to 68*4882a593Smuzhiyundo so either. You can sell the fonts as part of any software package, 69*4882a593Smuzhiyunhowever. 70*4882a593Smuzhiyun 71*4882a593Smuzhiyun2.

Please contact us if you have such 100*4882a593Smuzhiyunadditions. Note, that in general, we will want such additions for the 101*4882a593Smuzhiyunentire family, not just a single font, and that you'll have to keep 102*4882a593Smuzhiyunboth Gnome and Jim Lyles, Vera's designer, happy! To make sense to add 103*4882a593Smuzhiyunglyphs to the font, they must be stylistically in keeping with Vera's 104*4882a593Smuzhiyundesign. Vera cannot become a "ransom note" font.

Most open source 117*4882a593Smuzhiyunsystems and software (e.g., Gnome, KDE, etc.) are now converting to 118*4882a593Smuzhiyunuse fontconfig (see www.fontconfig.org) to handle font configuration, 119*4882a593Smuzhiyunselection and substitution; it has provisions for overriding font 120*4882a593Smuzhiyunnames and subsituting alternatives.

Other software (e.g., the XFree86 123*4882a593Smuzhiyuncore server) has other mechanisms for font substitution. 124*4882a593Smuzhiyun 125*4882a593SmuzhiyunShow details Hide details 126*4882a593Smuzhiyun 127*4882a593SmuzhiyunChange log 128*4882a593Smuzhiyunr2011 by mark.nickel on Mar 3, 2011 Diff 129*4882a593Smuzhiyun 130*4882a593SmuzhiyunMajority of Multi-Line text editing is in 131*4882a593Smuzhiyunthe commit.
