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 <[email protected]> and Birger Langkjer
<[email protected]> contributed thousands of glyphs and made
very substantial contributions and improvements on almost all fonts.
Constantine Stathopoulos <[email protected]> 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
<[email protected]> contributed to 6x13 Armenian, Georgian, the
first version of Latin Extended Block A and some Cyrillic. Serge V.
Vakulenko <[email protected]> donated the original Cyrillic glyphs
from his 6x13 ISO 8859-5 font. Nozomi Ytow <[email protected]>
contributed 6x13 halfwidth Katakana. Henning Brunzel
<[email protected]> contributed glyphs to 10x20.bdf. Theppitak
Karoonboonyanan <[email protected]> contributed Thai for 7x13,
7x13B, 7x13O, 7x14, 7x14B, 8x13, 8x13B, 8x13O, 9x15, 9x15B, and 10x20.
Karl Koehler <[email protected]> contributed Arabic to 9x15,
9x15B, and 10x20 and Roozbeh Pournader <[email protected]> and
Behdad Esfahbod revised and extended Arabic in 10x20. Raphael Finkel
<[email protected]> revised Hebrew/Yiddish in 10x20. Jungshik Shin
<[email protected]> prepared 18x18ko.bdf. Won-kyu Park
<[email protected]> prepared the Hangul glyphs used in 12x13ja.
Janne V. Kujala <[email protected]> contributed 4x6. Daniel Yacob
<[email protected]> revised some Ethiopic glyphs. Ted Zlatanov
<[email protected]> did some 7x14. Mikael Öhman <[email protected]>
worked on 6x12.
The fonts are still maintained by Markus Kuhn and the original
distribution can be found at:
