Slu/Sal' al ĉiuj,

does somebody know public domain fonts which has a nice apperance of e-o letters? Especially the "j" at the end of words looks mostly somewhat cropped.

Also I'm looking for public domain font similar to the Chiller one to use for the eo-ulo presentation. This one could be more condensed to consume less space at i.e. a t-shirt.

Thanks for hints.

I'm not sure if that helps you find some similar font to the one you proposed, nevertheless I found some Esperanto-compatible ones inside my 500MB collection (all accessible to the web, but not all licenced for free use):

For testing I recomend FontViewer (download page here) (freeware for personal use)
and the two words "eĥoŝanĝo ĉiuĵaŭde" that contain all Esperanto hatted letters or "cĉgĝhĥjĵsŝuŭ" for comparison with the standard letters, because sometimes fonts have a fallback font that looks similar but is not exactly the same.

(Note, that the Fontviewer understands ĉĝĥĵŝŭ, BUT does NOT remember them properly and may NOT understand Esperanto typing aids! You should COPY the letters from a textfile where the letters work. Otherwise it changes to cghjsu, which can be very confusing, as that you think a font is not Esperanto-compatible, although it is. Every time you start Fontviewer you have to copy cĉgĝhĥjĵsŝuŭ again!)

Maybe it's easier to read this page:
http://cg.scs.carleton.ca/~luc/esperanto.html about Esperanto fonts!

Thanks a lot for your efforts, Jakovo!

A while back, I was trying to get Kurso de Esperanto working on my PC. Unfortunately, it uses very old libraries and is nearly impossible to get working on a current Linux installation; so I decided to use the Windows version under Wine (since it is statically linked). On a side note, it's unfortunate that the Kurso author decided not to make it open source.

Anyway, it worked well under Wine (and helped advance my knowledge of Esperanto), but some of the special characters wouldn't show. I tried several fonts and finally found that freefont-ttf (http://savannah.gnu.org/projects/freefont/) worked the best.

Thanks for that. What Linux Distro are you using? Ubuntu/Fedora/...?

At another thread somebody told some sound issues. Actually I only use Ubuntu inside a Virtualbox. Kurso de Esperanto works fine at Vista. Even if I would like wish some more options to enlarge the fonts.

qwertz:Thanks for that. What Linux Distro are you using? Ubuntu/Fedora/...?

I use Gentoo, because it offers the most control without having to go the LFS route.

Okej

LSF = Linux from Scratch?

Thanks again, Jakovo. I will use that "Sorts Mill Goudy" fonts (GoudyStMTT.ttf, GoudyStMTT-Italic.ttf) to polish that Sintel-Karakeo playlist apart of some video editing later and special Karafun presets(Saturday Night Fever preset).
