Hi All,

I was browsing the gnome mailing lists when I found that there are some 20
true-type fonts which are released under GPL with Open Office..

How about adding those fonts to KDE?

The current situation with True Type fonts is that there are almost none free
True Type fonts available - unless you have Windows somewhere - and then you'll
have to copy them to your XFree fonts dir (and add the procedure to your beloved
font server)...

Enclosed a script which will grab from the Open Office CVS server - 20 fonts
which are available under GPL license.

Thanks
