(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 and Birger Langkjer + contributed thousands of glyphs and made +very substantial contributions and improvements on almost all fonts. +Constantine Stathopoulos contributed all the +Greek characters. Markus Kuhn did +most 6x13 glyphs and the italic fonts and provided many more glyphs, +coordination, and quality assurance for the other fonts. Mark Leisher + contributed to 6x13 Armenian, Georgian, the +first version of Latin Extended Block A and some Cyrillic. Serge V. +Vakulenko donated the original Cyrillic glyphs +from his 6x13 ISO 8859-5 font. Nozomi Ytow +contributed 6x13 halfwidth Katakana. Henning Brunzel + contributed glyphs to 10x20.bdf. Theppitak +Karoonboonyanan contributed Thai for 7x13, +7x13B, 7x13O, 7x14, 7x14B, 8x13, 8x13B, 8x13O, 9x15, 9x15B, and 10x20. +Karl Koehler contributed Arabic to 9x15, +9x15B, and 10x20 and Roozbeh Pournader and +Behdad Esfahbod revised and extended Arabic in 10x20. Raphael Finkel + revised Hebrew/Yiddish in 10x20. Jungshik Shin + prepared 18x18ko.bdf. Won-kyu Park + prepared the Hangul glyphs used in 12x13ja. +Janne V. Kujala contributed 4x6. Daniel Yacob + revised some Ethiopic glyphs. Ted Zlatanov + did some 7x14. Mikael Öhman +worked on 6x12. + +The fonts are still maintained by Markus Kuhn and the original +distribution can be found at: + + http://www.cl.cam.ac.uk/~mgk25/ucs-fonts.html -- cgit
