The ParaType PT Sans and PT Serif font families were developed as
part of the "Public Types of Russian Federation" project. The main
objective of the project is to allow the peoples of Russia to read
and write their native languages using free/libre fonts.
In addition to standard Western, Central European, and Cyrillic code
pages, the fonts contain characters of all title languages of the
Russian Federation.
PT Sans is based on Russian sans serif types of the second part of
the XX century, but at the same time has a very distinctive features
of modern humanistic design. The family consists of 8 styles: 4
basic styles, 2 caption styles for small sizes, and 2 narrow styles.
PT Serif is a transitional serif face with humanistic terminals
designed for use together with PT Sans. It consists of 6 styles: 4
basic styles, and 2 caption styles for small sizes.
The fonts were released by ParaType, and designed by Alexandra
Korolkova, Olga Umpeleva and Vladimir Yefimov.
Pcf2bdf is a font de-compiler. It converts X fonts from Portable
Compiled Format (PCF) to Bitmap Distribution Format (BDF). It can
also accept a compressed/gzipped PCF file as input, but gzip must
be found in your PATH.
FONTBOUNDINGBOX in a BDF file is not used by bdftopcf, so pcf2bdf
generates irresponsible values.
Profont - The ultimate programming font.
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.

These are the fonts from the SGI ProPack for Linux.
An x11 font designed to be small yet easily read.
This is a port of tkfont, a Tk based replacement (and much better IMHO)
for xfontsel. I find this particularly useful when I'm going to use
The Gimp to design something and want to pick a font without starting
gimp. Xfontsel can't scroll far enough down to see all of the fonts.
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.
