ThaiFonts-SiamPradesh is an attempt to make improvements over DIP-SIPA contested fonts


Description

From the ThaiFonts-Siampradesh homepage

ThaiFonts-SiamPradesh is an attempt to make improvements over DIP-SIPA contested fonts (downloads also available at f0nt.com) as far as the license allows. This includes:

  • Make them available in editable FontForge SFD format
  • Remove all obfuscations against editing which are still found in some fonts, despite the intention to have them freely modifiable
  • Scale glyphs for compatibility with Latin fonts at the same point size
  • Cleaner splines (for some fonts) and more usage of glyph references, in contrast to glyph duplications

As required by the license, fonts have been renamed with some rationale.

Caveat

  • This package is not totally free software. You cannot immediately modify it before notifying DIP & SIPA in writing. See the COPYING file for the license terms.
