Nimbus-16 Font: Does it exist?

So is the original somehow available to us, so that it could be included for distribution in every integer font size from say 6pt to 24pt?
Or at least so that I could build it for my own use...

The font on that page looks different from the rockbox nimbus fonts - from what I can see in the preview.

Nimbus is not jut one font- It is a family of fonts. The Nimbus fonts (among other type faces) that URW donated are Nimbus Roman no. 9, Nimbus Sans and Nimbus Mono.

You will need to make your own- Nimbus Sans is distributed as a type 1 (postscript) font. It is part of the standard Ghostscript fonts. Here is a link to download the font pack:

Thanks for that cpchan. I'll run it through Font Converter and see what I get.
However, I somehow missed out the point I was really trying to make:
Is this the exact same original that the project posesses, especially with respect to licensing, so that I could freely re-distribute my new .fnt files with, for instance, a WPS?
