Inconsolata is a monospace font, designed for code listings and the like, in
print. There are a great many "programmer fonts," designed primarily for use
on the screen, but in most cases do not have the attention to detail for high
resolution rendering.

The Fontforge .sfd and the Spiro .plate extended sources are available on the
upstream website and in the source package. A Type1 version of the font is also
available.
.
This is work in progress. It is released under the SIL Open Font License.

Andika ("Write!" in Swahili) is a sans serif, Unicode-compliant font
designed especially for literacy use, taking into account the needs of
beginning readers. The focus is on clear, easy-to-perceive letterforms that
will not be easily confused with one another.
.
A sans serif font is preferred by some literacy personnel for teaching
people to read. Its forms are simpler and less cluttered than some serif
fonts can be. For years, literacy workers have had to make do with fonts
that were available but not really suitable for beginning readers and
writers. In some cases, literacy specialists have had to tediously cobble
together letters from a variety of fonts in order to get the all of
characters they need for their particular language project, resulting in
confusing and unattractive publications. Andika addresses those issues.
.
After receiving many insightful comments on the Design Review and Basic fonts,
Andika's final letterforms have been refined with alternate shapes still
available for some characters. This font now contains the same character set
as Charis SIL and Doulos SIL.
.
Andika provides OpenType and Graphite features like smart code for diacritic
placement and supports recent additions to Unicode and the SIL PUA, and
character assignments are updated to conform to Unicode 5.1

Sawarabi Mincho is an original serif font including kanji, kana and Latin
characters. At present it has only about 2000 glyphs.Hack TrueType fonts (transitional package for fonts-hack)
No frills. No gimmicks. Hack is hand groomed and optically balanced to be a
workhorse face for code.
.
It has deep roots in the libre, open source typeface community and expands upon
the contributions of the Bitstream Vera & DejaVu projects. The face has been
re-designed with a larger glyph set, modifications of the original glyph shapes
(including distinct point styles and semi-bold punctuation weight in the
regular set to make analphabetic characters less transparent), and meticulous
attention to metrics (including numerous spacing adjustments to improve the
rhythm of the face and the legibility of code at small text sizes). The large
x-height + wide aperture + low contrast design combined with PostScript
hinting/hint replacement programs and a TrueType instruction set make it highly
legible at commonly used source code text sizes with a sweet spot that runs in
the 8px - 12px range on modern desktop and laptop monitors.
