Posted: Tue Oct 18, 2011 1:52 pm
Hi to all
The final Alfa release of the Mint Spirit fonts family is available to download :
http://arkandis.tuxfamily.org/fonts/MintSpirit-Dev.zip
This fonts family is made in order to replace Ubuntu default fonts in LMDE and given to your LinuxMint desktop its own identity...
Mint Spirit design rises in inspiration from Futura, Gillius, NeoGothis and Ubuntu fonts, keeping in mind to obtain a clear, fresh, nice and modern typeface usable for text and screen rendering, based on the LinuxMint logo.
Fonts from Alfa source are hinted and a standard kerning table is add. All the special typographical fields of scribus are also available. OT features aren't completed.
The default license used is GNU GPL V2 with font exception, but a possible change for the final release to the OFL one is considered.
The Zip archive includes a PDF file made with Scribus to see fonts in action or as a quick preview.
Beta release is under development and will insert:
- Support for Central and East Europa, Turkish.
- dnum, num, sup, inf lining figures
- Oldstyle and other glyphs variations.
- Complete OT features
EDIT: 2011/10/25
This is a personal work and not supported, sponsored by the official Linux Mint Team. This hopefully will cut short what has been written about it on the web.
