Liberation fonts.

On May 9, 2007, Red Hat announced the public release of these fonts under the trademark LIBERATION at the Red Hat Summit. There are three sets: Sans (a substitute for Arial, Albany, Helvetica, Nimbus Sans L, and Bitstream Vera Sans), Serif (a substitute for Times New Roman, Thorndale, Nimbus Roman, and Bitstream Vera Serif) and Mono (a substitute for Courier New, Cumberland, Courier, Nimbus Mono L, and Bitstream Vera Sans Mono). The fonts are now available for you to install.

Those running Red Hat® Enterprise Linux® systems can get the fonts through the Red Hat Network® service. For Fedora™ users they are available in the Fedora YUM repositories. You can also download the latest released version as a gzipped tarball or zip file from the Liberation Fonts project at Fedora Hosted. The fonts are in the popular TrueType format.

You are free to use these fonts on any system you would like. You are free to redistribute them under the GPL+exception license found in the download. Using these fonts does not subject your documents to the GPL--it liberates them from any proprietary claim. Once you have installed these fonts, we encourage you to make them your default in Thunderbird, Firefox, and Open Office. Heck, for that matter make them your default in Microsoft® Office®, in Microsoft Windows®, in Apple OSX®... in anything you would like. In many applications you can set Times New Roman, Arial, and Courier New to convert to these fonts.

This is just one way for Red Hat to say thank you to all our friends in the open source community for all you have done to make us successful.
