Is there any plan to include Segoe MDL2 Assets here?
This repository is currently missing a LICENSE file.
A license helps users understand how to use your project in a compliant manner. You can find the standard MIT license Microsoft uses at: https://github.com/microsoft/repo-templates/blob/main/shared/LICENSE.
If you would like to learn more about open source licenses, please visit the document at https://aka.ms/license (Microsoft-internal guidance).
I see that this is supposed to be open source, what is the plan going forward? I was looking to see some update but this one and Selawik font has not been updated for over one year.
Is Microsoft still going to support this font and bring it compatible with Segoe font?
I also see the license file is missing, there is no mention of type of license in README either.
There are important files that Microsoft projects should all have that are not present in this repository. A pull request has been opened to add the missing file(s). When the pr is merged this issue will be closed automatically.
Microsoft teams can learn more about this effort and share feedback within the open source guidance available internally.
Hello! As I already said in this issue, the Bulgarian Minister of e-Government has launched an initiative for Bulgarian institutions to use fonts that support Bulgarian Cyrillic.
In this regard, I wondered who I can contact to update some of the available fonts in Windows OS to support the Bulgarian stylistic variation of the Cyrillic script?

I suggest adding the source files and build scripts for each project :)
Game developers need to use fonts in the games. Especially indie developers are constantly looking for high quality open source fonts. Is it possible to add the former XNA redistributable fonts that you can still download here: http://bit.ly/tmg-fontpack to this list of Open Source fonts?
Is there any plan to provide tooling and build support so that someone can contribute to the font?
Somehow, it looks like all of the font files committed to this repo had line feed conversion applied, so that all 0x0D 0x0A byte pairs were converted to 0x0A upon commit.
Needless to say, this makes the fonts completely unusable.
As a checksum of sorts, the file sizes should match those in the Winstrap repository:
Font | Bytes |
---|---|
selawk.ttf | 44224 |
selawkb.ttf | 44068 |
selawkl.ttf | 44232 |
selawksb.ttf | 44192 |
selawksl.ttf | 44260 |
winjs-symbols.ttf | 47488 |
Edited to add: This seems to be due to the .gitattributes file, which defines a default conversion of * text eol=lf
. This should probably have the following appended, to ensure that the non-SVG font files don't get mangled:
*.eot binary
*.ttf binary
*.woff binary
*.woff2 binary
I suggest having one repo per font project, and using this repo to index them, such as with git submodules, or just links in the readme (eg http://github.com/itfoundry/hindkit)
This is because when you tag a release for one font family, it will include the entire repo at that stage, which may be a non-release-ready version of another family, or at least make the automatic release ZIPs full with other projects.
(The http://github.com/google/fonts repo isn't ideal, because it also has (100s of) projects all in 1 repo, but that is a 'downstream' repo, not the 'upstream' where the fonts are developed. For the upstream repos that don't have a home in the designer's own Github account/org, there is http://github.com/googlefonts :)
So perhaps a "microsoft-fonts" Github organization could be good.
A short-term suggestion is to move the license file from the root into each project's directory, since the current LICENSE file in the root has Selawick declared as an RFN and trademark, which appears to apply to the whole repo.
