But these fonts don't have any of the other Cyrilic characters either. http://www.cl.cam.ac.uk/~mgk25/ucs-fonts.html Markus -- Markus Kuhn, Computer Lab, Univ of Cambridge, GB http://www.cl.cam.ac.uk/~mgk25/ | __oo_O..O_oo__ Thread at a glance:

I still have Leon's mails archived and looking at merging these Cyrillic fonts into the ISO 10646-1 extended Adobe/B&H core fonts on http://www.cl.cam.ac.uk/~mgk25/download/ucs-fonts-75dpi100dpi.tar.gz and via that also into XFree86. This is still on my to-do list. Apart from simply having lacked the time to do it so far, what I am unsure about is the legal question whether we would, after merging your glyphs in, still be allowed to call the resulting fonts "Adobe" and "B&H" fonts in the XLFD. Your extension would actually add new glyphs that were not originated or approved by the owner of the original fonts. What I did to these fonts so far was merely to combine/ precompose existing Adobe and B&H glyphs. One option is to rename these fonts into -XFree86-Helvetica-*, etc., but that wouldn't make your glyphs available easily to existing applications that ask for the traditional XLFDs with company names. I have no idea, how much would break (technically and legally) if we removed the company names from these ancient donated pixel fonts and replaced it with XFree86 before adding our own glyphs. I'm also not sure whether keeping aliases would help, and doubling the number of font files (keeping both an Adobe/B&H and an extended Xfree86 version) sounds wasteful and unelegant. Any suggestions on what the names and XLFDs of Adobe and B&H pixel BDFs with added third-party glyphs should be are welcome, especially from the X Consortium veterans that added these core fonts in the first place.
