Yes, people are on their own when it comes to TrueType fonts. Unless
they want to use the Luxi stuff from XFree86 (I distribute those fonts
under the XFree86 license from the web pages linked to earlier),
they're obliged to obey the license the font comes with, or pay for
it. This is the reason why Charles Forsyth never distributed his port
of FreeType, which was done earlier than the stuff on my web page.
The most complete (meaning having the most UTF-8 glyphs) font that i
can find is Cyberbit, which used to be distributed 'free of charge'
with Netscape Communicator. Now google links to it have all but
disappeared, but you can still get it from their ftp server:
ftp://ftp.netscape.com/pub/communicator/extras/fonts/windows/Cyberbit.ZIP
It's a very large ttf file which, when converted with ttf2subf, should
suit most Plan 9 polyglots.
Just a small addition -- i didn't do ttf2subf and the truetype port,
it was Latchezar Ionkov.
