Description Yariv Ido 2002-07-29 08:43:50 UTC
Some of the fonts available at http://www.microsoft.com/typography have all the
encodings ( e.g. Arial, Times New Roman, Courier New ), including 8859-8 (
Hebrew ). I don't know if there's a legal issue ( License ), but from what I've
seen the current package already installs Microsoft's fonts under EULA.
Comment 1 Martin Schlemmer (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2002-07-29 15:08:15 UTC
The ones we distribute seems to be most (if not all) of those.  They do not
have 8859-8 encoding ?  If not,  is there a place where you can get all
in .zip and not as windows .exe ?
Comment 2 Yariv Ido 2002-07-29 15:13:55 UTC
No, they don't include 8859-8 encoding. You can open the windows .exe with
cabextract ( available in portage ).
Comment 3 Yariv Ido 2002-08-18 18:13:55 UTC
Microsoft pulled their fonts from their site. Fonts are available in
http://corefonts.sourceforge.net/ 
Comment 4 Yariv Ido 2002-08-28 13:19:50 UTC
Some nice iso8859-8 fonts are available at:
http://culmus.sourceforge.net/

Please checkout the new xfree-4.2.1 when it is released, as this should be fixed.
