On Mon, 11 Jan 2010 Josef Kleber submitted an update to the
softmaker-freefont
package.
Location on CTAN: /fonts/softmaker-freefont/
Summary description: Support files for SoftMaker free fonts available at www.freefont.de
License type: lppl
Announcement text:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
In June 2009 www.freefont.de offered a beautiful handwriting font
for free download: The Softmaker Stone Handwriting.
As handwriting fonts are a quite limited resource in the LaTeX world,
i decided to create support files for this beautiful font. Therefore,
Stone Handwriting will be the starting point for the softmaker-freefont
bundle. Other fonts will be included in future.
Supported fonts at the moment:
Congress (regular + bold + italic), Delano-Caps, Flagstaff, Henderson,
Iceberg (regular + bold), Jugendstil, Old Blackletter, Stone Handwriting
License: LPPL (not the fonts themselves)
New in v1.7:
- added support for the font Jugendstil
Attention: The font is not included! This font is font of the
month (January 2010) and can be downloaded for free (at least
this month) at: http://www.freefont.de
Later you can buy it from Softmaker
