Free UCS Outline Fonts is a project that produces a family of free computer fonts collectively known as GNU FreeFont, which are high-quality outline (OpenType, TrueType and WOFF) fonts, containing as much of the Universal Character Set (UCS) as possible. The project was initiated in 2002 by Primož Peterlin and is now maintained by Steve White.
The fonts are licensed under the GNU GPLv3 with a font exception, which ensures that they are freely distributed, and so that copies of the fonts may be embedded in a document that uses the font without the document itself being covered by the GPL.
The family includes three faces called FreeMono, FreeSans, and FreeSerif, each in four styles. These fonts can be obtained for free from GNU Savannah.
Famous quotes containing the words free and/or outline:
“He who is upright in his way of life and free from sin.”
—Horace [Quintus Horatius Flaccus] (65–8 B.C.)
“One by one objects are defined—
It quickens: clarity, outline of leaf
But now the stark dignity of
entrance—Still, the profound change
has come upon them: rooted, they
grip down and begin to awaken”
—William Carlos Williams (1883–1963)
