Perl module for TrueType font hacking. Supports reading, processing and
writing of the following tables: GDEF, GPOS, GSUB, LTSH, OS/2, PCLT,
bsln, cmap, cvt, fdsc, feat, fpgm, glyf, hdmx, head, hhea, hmtx, kern,
loca, maxp, mort, name, post, prep, prop, vhea, vmtx and the reading and
writing of all other table types.
In short, you can do almost anything with a standard TrueType font with
this module.
Font::TTFMetrics encapsulates the font metrics of a true type font file. A
true type font file contains several tables which need to be parsed before
any useful information could be gathered about the font. There is the
excellent module for parsing TTF font in CPAN by Martin Hosken, Font::TTF.
But in my opinion the use of Font::TTF requires intimate knowledge of TTF
font format. This module was written to support the use of TTF in Pastel
2D graphics library in Perl. Three factors prompted me to write this
module: first, I required a fast module to access TTF file. Second, all
the access required was read-only. Last, I wanted a user friendly, higher
level API to access TTF file.
PingWi Typography (PWT) font package contains PWT Tahion, PWT Arion,
PWT Courant, PWT Verde and PWT Timer fonts that are supposed
to substitute Microsoft's Tahoma, Arial, Courier, Verdana and
Times New Roman respectively. They are designed to resolve formatting
problems with documents created in MS Office, when they are opened
in OpenOffice.org.
These are the fonts from the SGI ProPack for Linux.

Terminus TTF is a TrueType version of the great Terminus Font, a
fixed-width bitmap font optimized for long work with computers.
It is useful for applications that don't support bitmap fonts

This package contains a number of fonts which are useful for TV applications:
led-fixed
This is the big font which xawtv uses by default for the onscreen display
in fullscreen mode.
ets-teletext
This is a teletext font. It contains the block graphic characters used by
teletext pages. When watching teletext with the mtt teletext browser you'll
get much better results with these fonts installed.

This is a theme based on the cursor work of the re-known desktop
artist Jakub "Jimmac" Steiner. It provides images of all cursor
