Open Source Fonts

So far this project consists of a source rpm that can be used to easily create a binary rpm package that, when installed, gives access to Microsoft's TrueType core fonts for the Web.

A space to store classic OOo dependencies that cannot be easily redistributed in Apache OpenOffice's Source tree. Initially this was meant for copyleft tarballs only but it is also pretty handy to mirror other file dependencies.

This project aims to develop the most complete, standard compliant, high-quality Chinese (and CJKV) fonts and resources, including bitmap and outline fonts of various styles. We also develop web-based tools to facilitate online font-dev collaborations.

We develop 2 artful digital font-families called “Linux Libertine” (serif font) and “Biolinum” (sans-serif). Both elegant good-readable Unicode fonts for daily & professional use (see OpenType & WOFF). Break the monotony of (c) W*ndows Fonts!

Monospaced font designed for long (8+ hours per day) work with computers. Contains 1326 characters, supports about 120 language sets, many IBM, Windows and Macintosh code pages, IBM VGA / vt100 / xterm pseudographic characters and Esperanto.

Fira Code is a free and open source monospaced font containing programming ligatures for the most commonly-used multi-character combinations in programming. Programmers use a lot of symbols that are encoded through a series of characters. Often these symbols are quickly done and overlooked, causing errors due to spacing, etc. Fira Code helps solve such problems. While all programming languages should be designed with full-fledged Unicode symbols for operators, such is not yet the case. Until then, there's Fira Code. Fira Code's solution is clean, simple and only font rendering. This means that the underlying code is still very much ASCII-compatible, allowing for the faster reading and understanding of code.

Tadween is a powerful multilingual application allowing users to write Arabic in applications that support Unicode but don't fully support Arabic.

A free OCR-A font, conformant to ANSI X3.17-1977, in TrueType format, with sources.

Mona Sans is a modern, open-source typeface created to be highly legible and visually distinctive across a wide range of digital and typographic contexts. Designed with attention to clarity, proportions, and flexibility, it strikes a balance between geometric structure and humanistic warmth, making it suitable for user interfaces, web typography, branding, and editorial layouts. The family includes multiple weights and styles that support expressive typographic hierarchy while maintaining consistent character shapes that improve readability at both small and large sizes. Being released through the GitHub repository encourages collaboration, versioning, and community feedback, enabling designers and developers to contribute improvements or request feature expansions. It also includes documentation, specimen files, and usage examples to help users understand how to integrate the font into projects effectively.

ShieldFont is an open-source typeface system designed to discourage unauthorized collection of written work for AI training. It replaces words in HTML with grammatically compatible decoys, then uses OpenType rules to display the intended text to human readers. Basic scrapers that collect source text without rendering the font receive the substituted version instead. React components, build-time tools, CDN assets, and downloadable fonts support several publishing workflows. Users can generate protected versions of their own typefaces and create private substitution mappings. An optional accessibility layer reveals the original text through a browser-side puzzle, but protected blocks are not fully WCAG compliant. The defense raises scraping costs rather than providing encryption and does not stop font analysis, rendered browsers, OCR, or screenshots.

PakType is a collection of Unicode based open source OpenType fonts supporting Arabic Script under the terms of the GNU General Public License as published by the Free Software Foundation; version 2 of the license.

FindThatFont! is a handy tool that allows to preview fonts that are installed on your system and to classify them into over 30 different categories. By using this categorization you can find any font on your system faster than ever before. Now open sourced on https://github.com/monkeyinmysoup/FindThatFont-

Have choose font for your project? This tool can help - preview text with fonts (that are already installed on system) and create list of interested fonts. For more, Look at screenshot :) At this moment, Project UI is in my native, Georgian language. In case of interest, I have plan to implment multilanguage interface.
