Open Source Server Operating Systems Fonts

In 1996 Microsoft started a font project named Core fonts for the Web. It was a freeware font project including fonts Andale Mono, Arial, Arial Black, Comic Sans MS, Courier New, Georgia, Impact, Times New Roman, Trebuchet MS, Verdana and Webdings.

TTF-GDOS is a GDOS replacement that uses true type fonts as well as gem fonts. It is small, fast & efficient and can easily be used without a hard drive. It also incorporates features roughly equivalent to font-GDOS: - a caching system so you can use more fonts for a given amount of memory, - built in bezier functions This release includes ttf2gem, a utility program that creates accurate gem fonts from a true type font (new for 2.3) Using true type fonts gives you 3 big benefits: - you can choose from a vast range of true type fonts - true type fonts are scalable so you can have almost any size font you want - true type fonts need much less disk storage than typical gem printer fonts, so even on a low spec machine you can use lots of fonts. Gem fonts and true type fonts complement each other perfectly - gem fonts are small and fast, while true type fonts are device and resolution independent so are scalable to any point size at any resolution.
