Is there any existing outline/vector/postscript gnu or public domain fonts.
I have been looking many months free or cheap outline fonts that i can use
as scalable and rotatable X11 fonts. I have asked it many times from usenet

If i like to give someones for gnu project, is there any gnu font coding
stantar like Adobe type 1 font format.
