Description:

The DejaVu fonts are modifications of the Bitstream Vera fonts designed
to extend this original for greater coverage of Unicode. The Bitstream Vera
family was limited mainly to the characters in the Basic Latin and Latin-1
Supplement portions of Unicode (roughly equivalent to ISO-8859-15) but was
released with a license that permitted changes. The DejaVu fonts project was
started with the aim to "provide a wider range of characters... while
maintaining the original look and feel through the process of collaborative
development".

Fonts are (c) Bitstream (see below). DejaVu changes are in public domain.

Fonts are published in source form as SFD files (Spline Font Database from
FontForge - http://fontforge.sf.net/) and in compiled form as TTF files
(TrueType fonts).
