Hi,
Thank you for your suggestion. Do you have further information about
the licensing of that font?

The only external information about "ecofont" licensing that I could
dig up is here at debian:
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=509594

I looked at the EcoFont FAQ, but most of their licensing information
seems to be for per-site or per-seat arrangements:

For LibreOffice to consider the inclusion of a font, it will need to
be available under terms compatible with the project's licensing:
http://www.libreoffice.org/download/license/

The EcoFont toner-saving concept is pretty nifty. If the licensing can
be straightened-out, it's definitely worth considering for inclusion.


Cheers,
