* Package name : freecad-font-y14.5-2018-nonfree Upstream Contact: Peter Kanold * URL : https://peterkanold.com/fonts/ * License : non-free Description : Y14.5-2018 technical drawing font for FreeCAD This package provides the Y14.5-2018 font, a sans-serif TrueType font designed to conform closely to the ASME Y14.5-2018 standard for dimensioning and tolerancing used in technical and engineering drawings. . The font is ideal for CAD environments and applications that require adherence to precise engineering documentation standards. It emulates the traditional technical lettering style found on mechanical and architectural blueprints. . The TechDraw workbench of FreeCAD can utilize this font to produce dimensioned drawings that align with the ASME Y14.5-2018 standard. . The Y14.5 font is only required for drawings that need to comply with ASME standards. It is not required for documents following ISO or no standards. The font is non-free, as the permsission to modify the font is not spelled out in the license, and an discussion in a FreeCAD issue (https://github.com/FreeCAD/FreeCAD/issues/18622) the author only provide a personal license for FreeCAD and associated parties. FreeCAD will perfectly fine without this font, just the TechDraw Workbench will issue a warning without this font, and the AMSE features won't be available.
