[Freefont-bugs] Microsoft TrueType fonts gone

[Primoz Peterlin]

Hello all,

When I was putting together the Free UCS Outline Fonts manifesto some half
a year back, I wrote about the freely available Microsoft TrueType fonts
"Building a dependence on non-free software, even a niche one like fonts,
is dangerous. Microsoft Truetype core fonts are not free, they are just
costless. For now, at least." As Roman Maurer pointed to me, this is not
true any more - this summer, Microsoft stopped distributing the Microsoft
TrueType core fonts. This reassures us that there really is a need for
high-quality *free* outline fonts.

With kind regards,
Primoz
