From d4690a8fa18c27c6d98c1c76ac1d1d2c35a1ebbb Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Thomas Citharel Date: Thu, 21 Aug 2014 18:54:25 +0200 Subject: removed unnecessary fonts --- inc/3rdparty/libraries/mpdf/ttfonts/ocrbinfo.txt | 60 ------------------------ 1 file changed, 60 deletions(-) delete mode 100644 inc/3rdparty/libraries/mpdf/ttfonts/ocrbinfo.txt (limited to 'inc/3rdparty/libraries/mpdf/ttfonts/ocrbinfo.txt') diff --git a/inc/3rdparty/libraries/mpdf/ttfonts/ocrbinfo.txt b/inc/3rdparty/libraries/mpdf/ttfonts/ocrbinfo.txt deleted file mode 100644 index c2dd9954..00000000 --- a/inc/3rdparty/libraries/mpdf/ttfonts/ocrbinfo.txt +++ /dev/null @@ -1,60 +0,0 @@ -Mostly-free OCR B - -This font is used in UPC bar code symbols, including the ISBN symbols on -most published books. - -A freely distributable version seems to be sorely needed. Until now, it's -been very difficult to find the font in computer-usable format except by -paying a high fee to a commercial font vendor. Even many serious commercial -publishers have so much trouble getting it right that they just go ahead and -use Helvetica instead, or even (shudder) Arial. Since the OCR B font is -required by an international standard, it seems like it ought to be free. -So here it is. The font in this package is not a "ripped", pirated, or -shadily reverse engineered version; every effort has been made to ensure -that it genuinely derives from free sources and all the creators involved -have actually intended it for free public use. - -Converted by Matthew Skala from Metafont format to Postscript and TrueType -formats, July 28, 2006, using mftrace 1.2.4 by Paul Vojta, which is -available from - http://www.xs4all.nl/~hanwen/mftrace/ -and Autotrace 0.31.1 available from - http://autotrace.sourceforge.net/ - -The Metafont files (not included - see notes below) were coded by Norbert -Schwarz in the 1980s, based on German standards documents. He has attached -a notice, notably not actually claiming any copyright - see the file -"ocrbinfo" - saying that the fonts are "given to free non commercial use", -but commenting that he is only free to grant rights to his own work on the -digitization, because he did not design the original letter forms. He -suggests that there may be other copyright claims attached to the letter -forms themselves, which Schwarz credits as being originally designed by -"Adam Frutiger" [sic], almost certainly a mistake for Adrian Frutiger. My -(Matthew Skala's) understanding of copyright law, at least in the USA and -Canada, is that in fact typefaces per se cannot be subject to copyright -claims, so the software embodiment is the only thing subject to copyright -and Schwarz's release makes it available for whatever "non commercial use" -means. - -To avoid muddying the waters further, any copyright claims by Matthew Skala -on these files are hereby released to the public domain. I'd like for these -fonts to be freely usable even in marginally commercial applications, such -as to generate UPC labels for books that will be sold for profit, but it may -not be within my power to grant that myself because I didn't write the -Metafont files although I did do considerable, and probably copyrightable, -work on the translation to Postscript and TrueType. It was *not* a purely -automated process; try using the tools I used and see how far you get -without human editing! I'd also like for these fonts (the fonts themselves -as opposed to documents made with them) not to be sold, not even indirectly -by those Web sites that advertise "free downloads" but make it difficult to -actually download fonts without paying a fee. - -NOTE: This ZIP archive is a stripped-down version containing just the -essential files for using the main OCR B font on most systems. If you want -the much larger complete package, which contains Metafont sources and several -variant fonts (reverse-video, outline, and slanted), look for a ZIP archive -called ocrb-complete.zip wherever you found this one. - -Matthew Skala -mskala@ansuz.sooke.bc.ca -http://ansuz.sooke.bc.ca/ -- cgit v1.2.3
