-The identity of the designer(s) of the original ASCII repertoire and
-the later Latin-1 extension of the misc-fixed BDF fonts appears to
-have been lost in history. (It is likely that many of these 7-bit
-ASCII fonts were created in the early or mid 1980s as part of MIT's
-Project Athena, or at its industrial partner, DEC.)
-
-In 1997, Markus Kuhn at the University of Cambridge Computer
-Laboratory initiated and headed a project to extend the misc-fixed BDF
-fonts to as large a subset of Unicode/ISO 10646 as is feasible for
-each of the available font sizes, as part of a wider effort to
-encourage users of POSIX systems to migrate from ISO 8859 to UTF-8.
-
-Robert Brady <rwb197@ecs.soton.ac.uk> and Birger Langkjer
-<birger.langkjer@image.dk> contributed thousands of glyphs and made
-very substantial contributions and improvements on almost all fonts.
-Constantine Stathopoulos <cstath@irismedia.gr> contributed all the
-Greek characters. Markus Kuhn <http://www.cl.cam.ac.uk/~mgk25/> did
-most 6x13 glyphs and the italic fonts and provided many more glyphs,
-coordination, and quality assurance for the other fonts. Mark Leisher
-<mleisher@crl.nmsu.edu> contributed to 6x13 Armenian, Georgian, the
