Downloadable GNU Fonts?

(1/1)

Nate!:
I want to try out different fonts, sizes, and boldness other than what's offered with Rockbox.  Is there a place to download GNU licensed fonts from a Windows environment?  (If that matters.)  With that can I convert those fonts using the tools outlined in the forums and wiki to be viewable in Rockbox?

Or, I just thought about it, is there somewhere I should look in the Debian image or Cygwin that has different GNU licensed fonts that I can extract?/convert?

Thanks in advanced.

Nate!:
Thanks Bascule:  I had looked at Rasher's site before and saw that many of the fonts were copyrighted.  If I had just scrolled through further, I would have seen the public domain fonts.

Thanks again.

ryran:
I would highly recommend trying out Geoff's font converter. I personally have used that to convert some wonderful fonts for my own use (personal faves: Calibri & Corbel).

Nate!:
Bascule:  Looking through all of the fonts on Rasher's site.  I noticed that the Helvetica have copyright information beside them.  Is the copy right expired and therefore available for public use?  If not, how is this one of the included fonts in the fonts pack?  Thanks for your help.

**Edited***
After further digging on Freedesktop.org, I saw a legal notice that states that the copyright holders allow for the fonts to have royalty-free use.

Ryran:  I use an earlier batch file that was posted somewhere on thsi form.  I think it is similiar if not the same one you pointed me too.  I like the Bold Comic Sans font for personal use.  I just wanted to test a few fonts out and upload with WPSs I create.
