+
+This file lists contributors and contributions to the GNU FreeFont project.

+
+* URW++ Design & Development GmbH <http://www.urwpp.de/>
+
+URW++ donated a set of 35 core PostScript Type 1 fonts to the
+Ghostscript project <http://www.cs.wisc.edu/~ghost/>, to be available
+under the terms of GNU General Public License (GPL).

+* Yannis Haralambous <yannis.haralambous AT enst-bretagne.fr> and John
+ Plaice <plaice AT omega.cse.unsw.edu.au>
+
+Yannis Haralambous and John Plaice are the authors of Omega
+typesetting system, <http://omega.cse.unsw.edu.au/>. Omega is an
+extension of TeX. Its first release, aims primarily at improving TeX's
+multilingual abilities. In Omega all characters and pointers into
+data-structures are 16-bit wide, instead of 8-bit, thereby eliminating
+many of the trivial limitations of TeX. Omega also allows multiple
+input and output character sets, and uses programmable filters to
+translate from one encoding to another, to perform contextual
+analysis, etc. Internally, Omega uses the universal 16-bit Unicode
+standard character set, based on ISO-10646. These improvements not
+only make it a lot easier for TeX users to cope with multiple or
+complex languages, like Arabic, Indic, Khmer, Chinese, Japanese or
+Korean, in one document, but will also form the basis for future
+developments in other areas, such as native color support and
+hypertext features. ... Fonts for UT1 (omlgc family) and UT2 (omah
+family) are under development: these fonts are in PostScript format
+and visually close to Times and Helvetica font families. (from the
+Omega WWW site). Omega fonts are available subject to GPL
+<http://www.ctan.org/tex-archive/help/Catalogue/entries/omegafonts.html>.

+* Wadalab Kanji Comittee
+
+Between April 1990 and March 1992, Wadalab Kanji Comittee put together
+a series of scalable font files with Japanese scripts, in four forms:
+Sai Micho, Chu Mincho, Cho Kaku and Saimaru. The font files are
+written in custom file format, while tools for conversion into
+Metafont and PostScript Type 1 are also supplied. The Wadalab Kanji
+Comittee has later been dismissed, and the resulting files can be now
+found on the FTP server of the Depertment of Mathematical Engineering
+and Information Physics, Faculty of Engineering, University of Tokyo
+<ftp://ftp.ipl.t.u-tokyo.ac.jp/Font/>.

+
+
+* Young U. Ryu <ryoung AT utdallas.edu>
+
+Young Ryu is the author of Txfonts, a set of mathematical symbols
+designed to accompany text typeset in Times or its variants. In the
+documentation, Young adresses the design of mathematical symbols: "The
+Adobe Times fonts are thicker than the CM fonts. Designing math fonts
+for Times based on the rule thickness of Times = , , + , / , < ,
+etc. would result in too thick math symbols, in my opinion. In the TX
+fonts, these glyphs are thinner than those of original Times
+fonts. That is, the rule thickness of these glyphs is around 85% of
+that of the Times fonts, but still thicker than that of the CM fonts."
+TX fonts are are distributed under the GNU public license (GPL).

+regular mechanical typewriter, which took place in
+1967-69. K.H. Hussein at the Kerala Forest Research Institute has
