Add Computer Modern family #288

Open sivapvarma opened 8 years ago

sivapvarma commented 8 years ago

Computer Modern is the family of typefaces developed by Donald Knuth for TeX. It would be awesome to have these available in Google Fonts.

SIL OFL v1.1 TTF files are available from Computer Modern Unicode project on SourceForge. TTF files are also available from CTAN though the license there is not clear to me.

This page is good example of how Computer Modern looks on web pages. It also gives more details about the family.

Is there a timeline by which these might be added to google fonts ?

No, I can't comment on timelines

hoke-t commented 7 years ago

Any status on this?

davelab6 commented 7 years ago

Will bump it up in priority, but I can't comment on specific timeline

hoke-t commented 7 years ago

Thanks!

BafS commented 6 years ago

Any new information about this font family ? This PR #1129 is also related but was never merged.

EklavyaFCB commented 6 years ago

Please add this font.

MadcowD commented 6 years ago

Bump!

ramyalsharif commented 6 years ago

An open issue for about 9 months now. What's the problem?

I like making diagrams in Google Docs, because the diagram editor is awesome, however, I write my articles in LaTeX, and so for consistency, I need this font in Google Fonts.

"Quick or Urgent but not Important" is subjective here, please get it done.

I see atleast 62 people here that want this, and 0 that don't.

m4rc1e commented 6 years ago

@ramyalsharif Google Fonts only serves ttfs. Computer Modern only has pfb and otf, http://cm-unicode.sourceforge.net/download.html. We would need to build our own ttfs. It's not as simple as git push.

BafS commented 6 years ago

@m4rc1e the PR https://github.com/google/fonts/pull/1129 uses ttfs.

m4rc1e commented 6 years ago

@BafS Thanks, do you know where these came from or how they were converted?

I've just had a quick look. In order for us to host them, we'll need to change the name table so it complies with our internal api.

BafS commented 6 years ago

@m4rc1e Okay I see, unfortunately I do not know where they come from. Maybe the author of the PR, @davidgiven, can answer ?

davidgiven commented 6 years ago

The PR has a DESCRIPTION.en_us.html which points to http://canopus.iacp.dvo.ru/~panov/cm-unicode/index.html --- let me know if need more documentation.

m4rc1e commented 6 years ago

@davidgiven Did you build the ttfs yourself? the site only has otf, pfb.

If so, it would be nice to hear what you did. Also, thanks for the pr!

davidgiven commented 6 years ago

No, I just pulled them from the linked site and packaged them, which was the most official distribution source for Unicode-converted all-in-one TTF fonts I could find. They were generated by rendering the TeX fonts to a bitmap and then tracing them. I believe a certain amount of manual work was involved.

The last version of the TTF fonts released was in 2009, so I suspect we don't need to worry about upgrades.

idupree commented 6 years ago

That page links to the Sourceforge download page for cm-unicode which does list TTF https://sourceforge.net/projects/cm-unicode/files/cm-unicode/0.7.0/

m4rc1e commented 6 years ago

@idupree @davidgiven Thank you both so much for the extra details.

I'll update the name tables so we can serve them. Once I do the pr, they'll need approval before they get on boarded.

We have been developing tools to make it possible for us to accept PR contributions. Thanks for your patience and highlighting the demand for this family.

jr-grenoble commented 5 years ago

CMU fonts would be a nice present for all scientific writers who use Google Docs and would encourage more to come and use it.

Please stop spamming this thread with '+1's. If you like to show your support, use the feedback-functionality and give the first entry a thumbs up instead of polluting this issue.

EklavyaFCB commented 5 years ago

Exactly, thank you!

I think people are wondering what is taking so long. I may be off, but adding a font doesn't sound like brain surgery level complexity.

Edit: I.e. a +1 comment is a "agreed + bump?" combo.

davidgiven commented 5 years ago

In the PR there's a comment that they're having to check with Knuth about use of the names. That was 25 days ago. Although now I look there's a new (maybe) notification from Travis about doing something, so maybe there's motion.

naturalbornchiller commented 5 years ago

There's an os version of Computer Modern (.woff, .ttf, .svg, and .eot) hosted here. Also +1!
