The proggy programmer's fonts (Proggy Clean, Proggy Square, Proggy Small, and Proggy Tiny) are a set of fixed-width screen fonts that are designed for code listings. Each font only comes in one size that it looks good at. The fonts were optimized while coding in C or C++. For this reason, characters like the '*' were placed vertically centered, as '*' usually means dereference or multiply, but never 'to the power of' like in Fortran. The {}s are centered horizontally (as the author's coding style aligns braces vertically), the zero looks different from the capital oh, and there is never any confusion between ells, ones, and eyes. Additionally, the arithmetic operators (+ - * < >) are all axis aligned.

The mission of the Scientific and Technical Information Exchange (STIX) font creation project is the preparation of a comprehensive set of fonts that serve the scientific and engineering community in the process from manuscript creation through final publication, both in electronic and print formats. Toward this purpose, the STIX fonts will be made available, under royalty-free license, to anyone, including publishers, software developers, scientists, students, and the general public. These fonts cover all the symbols in MathML and this port can replace the former x11-fonts/mathfonts.

Vollkorn, the free and healthy typeface for bread and butter use, designed by Friedrich Althausen. It intends to be a quiet, modest and well working text face for bread and butter use. Unlike its examples in the book faces from the renaissance until today, it has dark and meaty serifs and a bouncing and healthy look. It might be used as body type as well as for headlines or titles.

The Tibetan & Himalayan Digital Library releases the Unicode character based Tibetan Machine Uni OpenType font for writing Tibetan, Dzongkha and Ladakhi in dbu-can script with full support for the Sanskrit combinations found in chos skad texts. This font is based on the Tibetan Machine font originally designed and developed by Tony Duff of the Tibetan Computer Company over many years, the rights of which were purchased from him by the Trace Foundation in order to make it freely available under the terms of the Gnu General Public License. OpenType tables and more than 2,000 additional glyphs were added to the original font by Nathaniel Garson and Christopher Fynn under the auspices of THDL. This new OpenType version of the font contains almost 4,000 glyphs and can generate over 20,000 different combinations.

The Ubuntu Font Family are a set of matching new libre/open fonts in development during 2010--2011. The development is being funded by Canonical Ltd on behalf the wider Free Software community and the Ubuntu project. The technical font design work and implementation is being undertaken by Dalton Maag. Both the final font Truetype/OpenType files and the design files used to produce the font family are distributed under an open licence and you are expressly encouraged to experiment, modify, share and improve.

Exo 2 is a complete redrawing of Exo, a contemporary geometric sans serif typeface that tries to convey a technological/futuristic feeling while keeping an elegant design. Exo is a very versatile font, so it has 9 weights (the maximum on the web) and each with a true italic version. Exo 2 has a more organic look that will perform much better at small text sizes and in long texts.
