LucidaSansRegular.ttf license
« on: December 20, 2005, 08:03:20 AM »
Hi,

does anybody know whether LucidaSansRegular.ttf is distributable at all? It seems to be the same one that is also distributed with the Java Runtime Environment and I actually doubt that it is.

Ascender Corporation sells these fonts:

http://www.ascendercorp.com/lucida.html
http://www.ascendercorp.com/msfonts/lucida_sans_family.html

Maybe you would like to know that Ascender Corporation is not the nicest company on earth. They made all copies of their fonts in various SourceForge CVS repositories and elsewhere disappear recently.

Example:

There are freely distributable TrueType fonts available:

http://www.gnome.org/fonts/
http://www.ellak.gr/fonts/mgopen/
http://www.artifex.com/downloads/
