The svn/ directory of Freefont has been brought up to date with the sources in the Debian ttf-freefont package, which has been updated independently of Freefont for several years now.
I have set a CVS symbolic tag in the .svn files, named
DEBIAN_MERGE_2008
to mark the revisions that comprise this update.
With this merge, it should be possible for Freefont development to continue unhindered.

With the new additions, the complete Free Monospaced family (upright, oblique, bold and bold oblique) now complies with the Multilingual European Subset No.1 (MES-1) of ISO 10646-1 coded character set, as defined by the CEN Workshop agreement CWA 13873:2000 (see http://www.evertype.com/standards/iso10646/pdf/cwa13873.pdf). The TrueType font files are available for download in the "Files" section.

Along with a number of characters in the Latin Extended-B and IPA Extensions areas, I have created the needed vulgar fractions, which makes FreeMono and FreeMonoOblique compliant with MES-1. TrueType fonts can be downloaded from the Files section.
