The DejaVu fonts are a font family based on the Vera Fonts release 1.10. Its purpose is to provide a wider range of characters (see Current status page for more information) while maintaining the original look and feel through the process of collaborative development (see Authors). The family is available as TrueType fonts and also as third-party packages.
Available families (Sans = sans serif, Mono = monospaced):
- DejaVu Sans
- DejaVu Sans Mono
- DejaVu Sans Condensed (experimental)
- DejaVu Serif
- DejaVu Serif Condensed (experimental)
The current version is 2.24 (What's new, Download).
The derivative called DejaVu LGC covers only Latin, Greek and Cyrillic scripts. Most DejaVu fonts are suitable for Latin (Western and Central European, African Latin and International Phonetic alphabets), Cyrillic (European) and Greek (Modern and Polytonic). Arabic, Armenian, Hebrew, Lao, Canadian Aboriginal Syllabics and Georgian are currently in development and included in DejaVu Sans. There are full PDF samples available. You can also test your browser and how DejaVu looks like with these Testing pages. For the copyright notice and license see the License page. The license itself is included in all packages. Not all systems handle fonts the same way, please see the Renderer support page to know how to have the best font experience. Everyone is welcome to contribute (see Developer's Corner for more information). The sourceforge.net project page can be found at [1]. This project is listed on freshmeat.net and Linux Links. It has an article on Wikipedia. |
