| artifexirc-bot | <flibble> Hiya, is this the channel for the pdf/ps software? | 22:09.15 |
| | <flibble> and if so is there anyone I can contact about maybe providing some extra free fonts | 22:11.28 |
| | <Robin_Watts> flibble: This is the right channel, yes. | 22:54.08 |
| | <Robin_Watts> You want to provide free fonts to us? Or you want us to provide you with more free fonts? | 22:54.33 |
| | <flibble> Robin Watts: an alternate OS, relicensed itself as Apache licence a couple years back. I twigged that its fonts were a metric compatible set of the core postscript level 1 fonts (courier, Times New Roman, Helvetica) and was able to convert them using fontforge | 23:06.08 |
| | <flibble> I've no idea if that sort of thing would be useful to people, but I thought I'd see :) | 23:06.33 |
| | <flibble> There's also a New Century Schoolbook clone, and a font called Sassoon Primary | 23:07.50 |
| | <flibble> https://github.com/marutan/riscos-free-fonts | 23:07.58 |
| | <flibble> unfortuanately, I'm not very knowledgable about fonts, so could well have mesed up the conversions | 23:08.50 |
| | <flibble> https://raw.githubusercontent.com/marutan/riscos-free-fonts/main/Fonts/Homerton.Medium.png | 23:08.53 |
| | <flibble> but they seem to have come out ok, that's the Helvetica-a-like | 23:09.13 |
| | <Robin_Watts> I am aware of RISC OS. I have some history there 🙂 | 23:17.10 |
| | <Robin_Watts> I'm not sure the RISC OS fonts actually get us any greater "standard" coverage than we already have (I'm relatively sure they won't). | 23:18.23 |
| artifexirc-bot | <Robin_Watts> must go to bed. Night. | 23:18.46 |
| | <flibble> Robin_Watts: I'm pretty sure you'll already have equivlents already, but I figured I'd check :) | 23:20.08 |
| | <flibble> the the | 23:24.24 |
| | <flibble> oops | 23:25.58 |
| | <flibble> the only font I think you might not have is Sassoon Primary, but that's the one I had trouble with the encoding with | 23:26.51 |
