(And it is a Times-like serif font.) The font was created by several scientific publishers: American Institute of Physics, American Physical Society, American Chemical Society, American Mathematical Society, IEEE, and Elsevier and has thus high quality. The main focus is on special symbols - especially mathematical. If this font is installed, the MathML output by Mozilla Firefox is also improved. And the fonts can also be used for TeX. Licence: SIL Open Font License (OFL). Side note: The (beta version of the) font is part of Red Hat, cf. https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/STIX_fonts Reproducible: Always -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

could you try M17N/stix-fonts from OBS?
Quickly tried and worked - thanks. (In reply to comment #5)
I am curious about legal viewpoint. http://www.stixfonts.org/STIXFontLicense2010.txt
The "SIL OPEN FONT LICENSE" (short: "OFL" or "Open Font License", http://scripts.sil.org/OFL) is OSI approved (http://opensource.org/licenses/openfont.html) and should pose no problems. There are already some fonts which use them in openSUSE, e.g., Linux Libertine (co-licensed under GPL+Font exception) or the SIL fonts sil-abyssinica, sil-charis, sil-doulos, and sil-padauk. -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

Thanks Thomas a lot.

Yes, really. I have approval from our legal team yet. -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
