Description: In loving memory of my parents, Tat'yana Sergeevna Lapteva and Valentin Mefod'yevich Panov Istok is a new sans serif typeface. At present it has the four fonts with support for Latin and Cyrillic. Most glyphs are manually instructed using xgridfit but other ones are autoinstructed in fontforge. The fonts are distributed under the terms of Open Font License or GNU General Public License Version 3 with the following exception: As a special exception, if you create a document which uses this font, and embed this font or unaltered portions of this font into the document, this font does not by itself cause the resulting document to be covered by the GNU General Public License. This exception does not however invalidate any other reasons why the document might be covered by the GNU General Public License. If you modify this font, you may extend this exception to your version of the font, but you are not obligated to do so. If you do not wish to do so, delete this exception statement from your version. The font sources have only GNU General Public License Version 3. The sources and truetype fonts are available at http://code.google.com/p/istok/ Tarballs are compressed with xz (http://tukaani.org/xz/). Build and install instructions ============================== You need fontforge (http://fontforge.sourceforge.net/), TTX/FontTools (http://sourceforge.net/projects/fonttools/), xgridfit (http://xgridfit.sourceforge.net/ - version as of April 2010) and font-helpers (http://code.google.com/p/font-helpers/ ) in order to build the truetype fonts from the sources. Also you should have the GNU make and coreutils. At first you must unpack/copy the files from font-helpers into the directory where *.sfd files are located. Then type make and the truetype fonts will be produced. On systems with X.Org you may do make install as root to install the fonts system-wide (/usr/share/fonts/TTF). Otherwise copy the *.ttf files into the ~/.fonts/ directory. Then run fc-cache if you have fontconfig. The history of the font ======================= The modified version of the CM Bright font was used for design of several letters as raw material, other charaters are designed from scratch. Andrey V.
