Omega is an extension of TeX.Its first release, aims primarily at improving TeX's multilingual abilities.In Omega all characters and pointers into data-structures are 16-bit wide,instead of 8-bit, thereby eliminating many of the trivial limitations of TeX.Omega also allows multiple input and output character sets, and usesprogrammable filters to translate from one encoding to another, to performcontextual analysis, etc. Internally, Omega uses the universal 16-bit Unicodestandard character set, based on ISO-10646. These improvements not only makeit a lot easier for TeX users to cope with multiple or complex languages,like Arabic, Indic, Khmer, Chinese, Japanese or Korean, in one document, butwill also form the basis for future developments in other areas, such asnative color support and hypertext features. ... Fonts for UT1 (omlgc family)and UT2 (omah family) are under development: these fonts are in PostScriptformat and visually close to Times and Helvetica font families.Omega fonts are available subject to GPLLatin Extended-B (U+0180-U+024F)IPA Extensions (U+0250-U+02AF)Greek (U+0370-U+03FF)Armenian (U+0530-U+058F)Hebrew (U+0590-U+05FF)Arabic (U+0600-U+06FF)Currency Symbols (U+20A0-U+20CF)Arabic Presentation Forms-A (U+FB50-U+FDFF)Arabic Presentation Forms-B (U+FE70-U+FEFF)Current info: <http://tug.ctan.org/cgi-bin/ctanPackageInformation.py?id=omega>* Valek Filippov <frob AT df.ru>Valek Filippov added Cyrillic glyphs and composite Latin Extended A tothe whole set of the abovementioned URW set of 35 PostScript core fonts,<ftp://ftp.gnome.ru/fonts/>.

Ryu <ryoung AT utdallas.edu>Young Ryu is the author of Txfonts, a set of mathematical symbolsdesigned to accompany text typeset in Times or its variants. In thedocumentation, Young adresses the design of mathematical symbols: "TheAdobe Times fonts are thicker than the CM fonts. Designing math fontsfor Times based on the rule thickness of Times = , , + , / , < ,etc. would result in too thick math symbols, in my opinion. In the TXfonts, these glyphs are thinner than those of original Timesfonts. That is, the rule thickness of these glyphs is around 85% ofthat of the Times fonts, but still thicker than that of the CM fonts."TX fonts are are distributed under the GNU public license (GPL).<http://www.ctan.org/tex-archive/fonts/txfonts/>.Arrows (U+2190-U+21FF)Mathematical Symbols (U+2200-U+22FF)* Angelo Haritsis <ah AT computer.org>Angelo Haritsis has compiled a set of Greek Type 1 fonts, once available asas a tarball named greekXfonts-Type1-1.1.tgz.The glyphs from this source have been used to compose Greek glyphs inFreeSans and FreeMono.Angelo's licence says: "You can enjoy free use of these fonts foreducational or commercial purposes.
