I don't remember precisely, but most (if not all) were taken from whatever Linux distribution we were using at the time when Qt/Embedded was made (around 1999/2000). > b) what licences apply to them? That should be the licenses contained in the Qt 4 repository. > c) if those font files are still used in any version? There is still code in Qt that reads and adds QPF files if they are installed, but I do not believe this is commonly used. In any case, if someone needs QPF fonts they can get them from other sources than the Qt packages. It sounds like a good idea to remove the font files from qtbase. TL;DR: Nuke it from orbit. - Paul _______________________________________________ Development mailing list Development@qt-project.org http://lists.qt-project.org/mailman/listinfo/development
