Of course this one is illegal, but I can understand their intention to collect all the glyphs in one font (they don't normally use TeX, I guess). I know no font that contains every kind of Latin/Greek based glyph (as this does); Gentium is aiming that target, but it lacks cyrillic at the moment (and it doesn't look like it would be further developed, even if they released the sources some months ago). And there isn't a bold variant either. http://scripts.sil.org/Gentium Other projects: - Linux Libertine is just ugly (0 is only a circle!?) http://linuxlibertine.sourceforge.net/ - Junicode is interesting, but also lacks Cyrillic http://www.engl.virginia.edu/OE/junicode/junicode.html - more? And as far as I can see, the Babel folks even had to make up some glyphs for their project. Sure, it would be far better if they had contributed to one of the above projects (or perhaps one of the GUST projects or just use TeX) instead stealing a commercial font.
