Dear All,

given the Unicode capabilities of the upcoming 1.19.3 it would be nice to
create a set of fonts descriptions for some family of "unicode" fonts
 (with most of the glyphs groff can typeset - extended latin and cyrillic)
 and, may be,
include it as an optional or contributed part of the groff distribution.

What are the options for such a family?
AFAIK the best URW derivatives now are Gyre fonts - they are PostScript,
GPL, have lots of glyphs and are developed/mainatined.

MS Core fonts look like an alternative - they are less free, TrueType -
but they are MS!

Please, post your opinion on the desirability of such font description
package, choice of fonts etc.



          Sincerely, Michail
