Microsoft Withdraws Free Web Fonts | |
|
||
| Time: 09:10 EST/14:10 GMT | News Source: ExtremeTech | Posted By: Byron Hinson | ||
|
Microsoft Corp. withdrew its free TrueType Web fonts on the eve of LinuxWorld, leaving some Linux advocates upset about the decision. Microsoft, however, said the fonts were being "abused". The TrueType fonts, once available on this Microsoft web page, were apparently pulled on Aug. 12, the first day of the LinuxWorld show here. It was unclear which Linux distributions would be affected by Microsoft's decision, although a representative of the Debian GNU/Linux organization said it had withdrawn a TrueType font package from its distribution. | ||

I don't understand...
The article seems to be implying that Linux developers can't come up with good fonts of their own, so they are going around stealing existing ones from other companies. Can that be true? |

| XP isn't based upon BSD. There is another "X" OS that is, however. |

Realist - The article stated they were using them in violation of the EULA.
