[Freefont-announce] Release 2009, Jan 4

There has been a maintenance release made on the previous release of
GNU FreeFont.

Get it at http://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/freefont/
Look for files dated
  20090104

There are three main changes:

1) The Glagolitic range has been removed, due to an unfortunate
mistake (mea culpa!) regarding licensing of the font on which the
range is based.
Efforts to contact the original author were made but no reply was
actually received.  We are trying again, but until proper permission
is given, these glyphs will remain excluded.

2) The old bug regarding excessive line spacing in Mono was
inadvertently re-introduced in the last release.  It has been fixed
again, and the test scripts now contain tests for the problem.

3) Daniel Johnson has provided a bold version of his Cherokee range.
Oblique faces have also been filled in.

Also, the license has been upgraded to GPL v3

Thanks!
