== Usertags ==

The pkg-fonts team will use these tags for usertags (user: pkg-fonts-devel@lists.alioth.debian.org):

* non-free: for packages that contain non-free fonts taken from the web
* duplicate: for packages that contain fonts that duplicate fonts from other packages
* split: for packages that contain fonts we would like to see split into other packages

== Generating Fonts from Source ==

The [http://packages.debian.org/fontforge fontforge] is an editor for outline and bitmap fonts that generates all kinds of fonts. It is also scriptable and has
an addon tool [http://packages.debian.org/xgridfit xgridfit] for hinting. The following fonts are built from sfd (found using apt-cache rdepends fontforge):

- [http://packages.debian.org/ttf-junicode ttf-junicode]

- [http://packages.debian.org/ttf-beteckna beteckna]

- [http://packages.debian.org/ttf-essays1743 essays1743]

- [http://packages.debian.org/ttf-atarismall ttf-atarismall]

- [http://packages.debian.org/ttf-breip ttf-breip]

I created some script to create bold, italic, and condensed typefaces out of sfd fonts:
