Doulos SIL is a Unicode-based font family that attempts to provide a
comprehensive inventory of glyphs needed for almost any Roman- or
Cyrillic-based writing system, whether used for phonetic or orthographic
needs. In addition, there is provision for other characters and symbols useful
to linguists. This font makes use of state-of-the-art font technologies to
support complex typographic issues, such as the need to position arbitrary
combinations of base glyphs and diacritics optimally.
Doulos is very similar to Times/Times New Roman, but only has a single face-
regular. It is intended for use alongside other Times-like fonts where a range
of styles (italic, bold) are not needed.
Ecofont is designed to conserve ink and toner by placing minute holes in the
individual letters of the typeface. Ecofont claims to use up to 25% less ink,
potentially saving larger institutions thousands of dollars every year without
sacrificing legibility.
The Fira font family was designed to cover the legibility needs for a large
range of handsets varying in screen quality and rendering. It comes in a
Sans Serif with 16 weights all accompanied by italic styles. The package also
includes a Mono Spaced variant with 3 weights (regular, medium and bold). The
UFO source files are included in examples.
Available formats: Open Type
*supports advanced Open Type typographic layout features and languages

Note: The port x11-fonts/fonts-indic is a collection of Indic font by the
Lohit project and installs a font subset of this port, the Lohit family;
but, although the origin of fonts is the same, the Lohit project, that
distfile is maintained by Gentoo people, and have different revisions.
You can install merely also that port and, if, for any reasons, you want
to use a particular font set, you have to change the loading priority in
your configuration files.

This True Type Font has been based on the Old German handwriting as it
was taught in Schleswig and Germany around Year 1900 (Suetterlin). If
you study sources from that time and before, it is important to be
familiar with this writing style. The font is free for personal use.
The MgOpen typefaces are freely available and contain glyphs for viewing
texts in Greek (written in the monotoniko system).
The MgOpen typeface collection is composed of the following typefaces:
- MgOpenCanonica is a serif typeface, based on the design of Times Roman.
- MgOpenCosmetica is a sans-serif typeface, based on the design of Optima.
- MgOpenModata is another sans-serif typeface.
- MgOpenModerna is a sans-serif typeface, based on the design of Helvetica.
Each family contains four fonts, namely all the combinations of regular and
bold weight and upright and italic (or oblique) shape. All the fonts contain
glyphs for the latin and greek alphabets (using the monotoniko system), while
the fonts of the Canonica family also contain all the glyphs necessary for
viewing Greek texts written in the polytoniko system. All the fonts use the
Unicode encoding for characters and are in the TrueType format.
MonteCarlo is a bitmap font suitable for code editors. All the characters
have the same width, which is ideal for alignment. It is loosely derived
from the look of the Monaco screen font that was available on the old MacOS
systems. Some changes have been made to make it easier to differentiate
certain symbols.
