A few topics here:
1) The website search doesn't work for me. For example, the search can't
find "libertine" but I see it listed in the wiki.
2) I am looking for replacements for Microsoft Corefonts which are
TrueType fonts from Microsoft with WGL4 (Windows Glyph List 4) charset:
- Andale Mono (monospace sans-serif typeface)
Bitstream Vera Sans Mono
http://www.gnome.org/fonts/
FreeMono
http://www.nongnu.org/freefont/
- Webdings
- Trebuchet MS, with variants Bold, Italic, and Bold Italic (sans-serif)
- Georgia, with variants Bold, Italic and Bold Italic
- Verdana, with variants Bold, Italic and Bold Italic
- Comic Sans, Comic Sans Bold
- Arial Black
- Impact
- Arial, with variants Bold, Italic and Bold Italic
Bitstream Vera Sans
http://www.gnome.org/fonts/
FreeSans
http://www.nongnu.org/freefont/
- Times New Roman, with variants Bold, Italic and Bold Italic
Linux Libertine
http://linuxlibertine.sourceforge.net/
- Courier New, with variants Bold, Italic and Bold Italic
FreeSerif
http://www.nongnu.org/freefont/
(I also found some replacements at
http://www.users.bigpond.net.au/gavindi/ but don't know license.)
If you have suggestions or advice on replacements for above, please let me
know. A wiki page would be good for this.
3) Does your wiki contain instructions on how to map replacements with
fontconfig and maybe other applications? If not, can anyone share
examples?
Thanks,
