There is some news about the STIX fonts. It looks like they will be releasing a beta sometime in October (translation: November-December). At this time, they have a draft copy of the license up on their website and are welcoming comments. http://www.stixfonts.org/user_license.html What I saw was encouraging, but maybe somebody else might see something that concerns bundling and distributing with MPL.

Mike, John, I sent an inquiry to stixfonts based on http://www.stixfonts.org/swdev_geninfo.html#; I will let you know if they come back with anything. It does look like a genuine release is in sight. But are these fonts all based on Roman style, with serifs, correct? That seems unfortunate; I think that for most plotting purposes, sans-serif works better. Eric

I'm on the list to receive the beta package when it is available, which could be any day now. Darren
