On previous wikimeets I attended we did discuss the
need for a
collection of fonts that would include as many fonts as we can get for
our public. It would help a lot if we could have one resource that is
free for use and that does include all the needed fonts. If it requires
a reasonable amount of money to buy a missing font to make it Free, I
think it is worthy of consideration. I am also sure that when we
acknowledge the people who make fonts available for this purpose we will
be able to get many resources for free.
Good fonts require tons of time from professional artists. I don't
think the foundation could buy them for all languages we support
unless we somehow come across a few million dollars. We'd probably
have better luck convincing Microsoft to open source theirs.
