: What are good sources for Open-Source fonts? What are good sources for Open-Source fonts? Note that by "Open-Source" I don't mean only free, but truly "open, free to modify and published under

In addition to Google Fonts, there is also Font Squirrel.

If you are a developer or designing a web application, take a look at NPM typeface packages. This allow you to download and self-host fonts instead of using a CDN like Google Fonts.

Adobe just released Source Sans. It has a lot of promise. And you'll note that it's hosted on Sourceforge, where by searching for font or typeface I found a handful of other projects.

There's the SIL fonts themselves: scripts.sil.org/cms/scripts/page.php?site_id=nrsi&id=FontDownloads Recently, I've found the EB Garamond, which is close to completion: www.georgduffner.at/ebgaramond/index.html The sortmill project has fonts under the MIT license: code.google.com/p/sortsmill/ I really like the Linux Libertine and Biolinum fonts: www.linuxlibertine.org/

The OpenFont Library wiki has a nice list.

I don't have any additional aggregate sources beyond what has already been mentioned, but you might want to check out GUST's TeX Gyre fonts: www.gust.org.pl/projects/e-foundry/tex-gyre/

Fonts included with Linux distros are usually Open Source. This would include these major families:


Liberation
Bitstream Vera
Nimbus
DejaVu


The Wikipedia page Free software Unicode typefaces list many others. Additionally, another well-known Open Source font is the Ubuntu font, now used as the default sans font in the 10.10 release of the operating system as well as all branding.

Font Squirrel also has a large catalogue of Open Source fonts, though it mostly curates free fonts and there's no way to filter by licensing.

Google font directory www.google.com/fonts
The fonts are free (as in beer and as in speech). Most of them are using the SIL Open Font License, but not all of them.

The Liberation fonts are GPL-licensed and designed to be compatible with the most common fonts shipped in Windows: www.redhat.com/promo/fonts/
