Add Selawik

[adrientetar]

An OFL-licensed font made by Microsoft for their website styling template as a fallback to Segoe UI.

OFL without source as we know it ;)

Nice find :) Google, Microsoft, Adobe, Apple, Intel, Mozilla have all released libre fonts now. I guess we're now waiting for Amazon, HP, IBM :)

[adrientetar]

Did Apple release anything that's free software?

Menlo is under the Vera license

It seems the Microsoft fonts are getting a new repo of their own too.

No sources yet, though :)

The correct link is https://github.com/Microsoft/Selawik

BTW, IBM already released Courier Type 1 to X11 in 90s https://cgit.freedesktop.org/xorg/font/ibm-type1/tree/COPYING

The RFN permission for this is in place. @RosaWagner since you are working on the github fonts, would be good to work on this and Cascadia Code too (I'm starting the RFN process for that)

This will require funding to bring the sources and build chain for a VF into alignment and so on, so punting to Q1; keeping @aaronbell assigned until the funding aspect is worked out.

Note: there is an updated Selawik variable font here:
https://github.com/unicode-org/text-rendering-tests/tree/main/fonts
Actually has advanced features such as kerning. ;-)
Think that is the same one used for the demo on Axis-Praxis here:

That page says it is by Aaron Bell

EDIT: Oh, I was not paying attention, you already mentioned Aaron Bell.
