A normal make in the Lilypond source distribution's mf/ +directory will create font files called (among others) feta20.pfa, +feta-nummer10.pfa and parmesan20.pfa, and the supplied fonts are +exactly those, renamed to make their origin clear. (The font family +names within the .pfa files have also been renamed, adding a +-rosegarden suffix, so as to avoid any possible conflict with other +versions of the same fonts installed as global system fonts.) + +Lilypond and the feta font are copyright 1997 to 2003 by Han-Wen +Nienhuys and Jan Nieuwenhuizen and are distributed under the terms of +the GNU General Public Licence, a copy of which may be found in the +COPYING file in the top-level directory of this distribution. + +We would like to express our gratitude to the Lilypond project for +taking the immense amount of time and effort to create one of the +highest quality notation fonts available, and then making it free +under the GPL. + +See http://www.lilypond.org/ for more information about Lilypond. + + +GPL COMPLIANCE +============== + +The supplied .pfa files are a compiled version, not the source code of +these fonts. Because we do not wish to incorporate significant parts +of Lilypond source into the Rosegarden distribution, under the terms +of the GPL we hereby offer to provide the standard Lilypond-2.1.0 +source distribution without charge (except for any necessary shipping +or packaging fee) upon application to anyone who has received these +.pfa fonts as part of the Rosegarden distribution. Of course you +would normally find it much easier to get the code direct from +lilypond.org, but we are making this offer anyway so as to ensure +formal compliance with the GPL. To take up this offer, please contact +Chris Cannam, [email protected]. + |
