User manual

Yes, but you must change the name(s) of the font(s).
5. Under what terms are derivative works allowed?
You must change the name(s) of the fonts. This is to
ensure the
quality of the fonts, both to protect Bitstream and
Gnome. We want to
ensure that if an application has opened a font
specifically of these
names, it gets what it expects (though of course,
using fontconfig,
substitutions could still could have occurred during
font
opening). You must include the Bitstream copyright.
Additional
copyrights can be added, as per copyright law. Happy
Font Hacking!
6. If I have improvements for Bitstream Vera, is it
possible they might get
adopted in future versions?
Yes. The contract between the Gnome Foundation
and Bitstream has
provisions for working with Bitstream to ensure quality
additions to
the Bitstream Vera font family. Please contact us if
you have such
additions. Note, that in general, we will want such
additions for the
entire family, not just a single font, and that you'll
have to keep
both Gnome and Jim Lyles, Vera's designer, happy!
To make sense to add
glyphs to the font, they must be stylistically in keeping
with Vera's
design. Vera cannot become a "ransom note" font.
Jim Lyles will be
providing a document describing the design elements
used in Vera, as a
guide and aid for people interested in contributing to
Vera.
7. I want to sell a software package that uses these
fonts: Can I do so?
Sure. Bundle the fonts with your software and sell
your software
with the fonts. That is the intent of the copyright.
8. If applications have built the names "Bitstream Vera"
into them,
can I override this somehow to use fonts of my
choosing?
This depends on exact details of the software. Most
open source
systems and software (e.g., Gnome, KDE, etc.) are
now converting to
use fontconfig (see www.fontconfig.org) to handle
font configuration,
selection and substitution; it has provisions for
overriding font
names and subsituting alternatives. An example is
provided by the
supplied local.conf file, which chooses the family
Bitstream Vera for
"sans", "serif" and "monospace". Other software
(e.g., the XFree86
core server) has other mechanisms for font
substitution.
