Makefile: > COMMENT = collection of sans-serif fonts it's worth mentioning in COMMENT that it includes fixed-width fonts, and probably also at least the Japanese character sets. > # "Free license" I would change this comment to also point people at the files e.g. # "Free license", see LICENSE_E / LICENSE_J ...here's the actual license text, for anyone interested who might be worried by the "bsd like" (we've seen various licenses worded to look like the traditional BSD license to the untrained eye, but with some words altered to substantially change the meaning). ><>< M+ FONTS Copyright (C) 2002-2014 M+ FONTS PROJECT These fonts are free software. Unlimited permission is granted to use, copy, and distribute them, with or without modification, either commercially or noncommercially. THESE FONTS ARE PROVIDED "AS IS" WITHOUT WARRANTY. ><>< pkg/DESCR: > The M+ OUTLINE FONTS is a collection of sans-serif fonts. I think a little more detail here would be useful, I have a port of an old version of these fonts in mystuff with the following from their website which I think is useful to include. ><>< M+ OUTLINE is a font family distributed under free license, featuring 4 proportional Latin, 3 fixed-halfwidth Latin and 2 Kana fixed-fullwidth Japanese character sets. All fonts were completed with Basic Latin, Latin-1 Supplement, Latin Extended-A, and IPA Extensions. And most of Greek, Cyrillic, Vietnamese, and extended glyphs and symbols were prepared too. So the fonts are in conformity with ISO-8859-1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 7, 9, 10, 13, 14, 15, 16, Windows-1252, T1, and VISCII encoding. In addition, proportional M+ P Type-1 and M+ P Type-2 fonts were completed with Latin Extended-B, Latin Extended Additional, and Windows Glyph List 4 (WGL4). And many Greek, Cyrillic, IPA Extensions glyphs, and symbols were expanded. Those additional glyphs are included in M+ C provisionally. ><><
