NotCourier ========== This file provides detailed information on the NotCourier font software. This information should be distributed along with the NotCourier fonts and any derivative works. Basic Font Information ---------------------- NotCourier is a re-interpretation of Nimbus Mono and was designed in Wroclaw at the occasion of Libre Graphics Meeting (LGM 2008). For more detailed information: http://ospublish.constantvzw.org We took Nimbus as the base of the design. We proceeded to remove the serifs with raw cuts. We did not soften the edges. We are not here to be polite. See the file NotCourierSans-work.png included in this package. NotCourier currently provides the following Unicode coverage: - Basic Latin: 95/95 - Latin-1 Supplement: 93/96 - Latin Extended-A: 128/128 - Latin Extended-B: 7/208 - Cyrillic: 197/256 - Latin Extended Additional 90/256 - General Punctuation: 16/107 Information for Contributors ---------------------------- See the project website for the current trunk and the various branches: http://openfontlibrary.org/media/people/OSP ### Notes: - lower case x-height cyrillic characters are different from latin characters in the bold version -- not fixed yet; - didn't verify yet if all repeated vectors were replaced with references - if has, shouldn't be that much; - didn't verify yet if all serifs were removed from cyrillic characters -- if has, shouldn't be that much; - didn't test the typefaces with cyrillic text intensivelly, since i'm not russian, ukranian or bielo-russian fluent... ChangeLog --------- (This should list both major and minor changes, most recent first.) - 2008 september 14 (Paulo Silva) -- NotCourier version 1.1; - removed all kerning pairs; - fixed all characters width to 600 units; - replaced repeated vectorial information from accented characters with references; - removed serifs from cyrillic characters.
