+The identity of the designer(s) of the original ASCII repertoire and
+the later Latin-1 extension of the misc-fixed BDF fonts appears to
+have been lost in history. (It is likely that many of these 7-bit
+ASCII fonts were created in the early or mid 1980s as part of MIT's
+Project Athena, or at its industrial partner, DEC.)
+
+In 1997, Markus Kuhn at the University of Cambridge Computer
+Laboratory initiated and headed a project to extend the misc-fixed BDF
+fonts to as large a subset of Unicode/ISO 10646 as is feasible for
+each of the available font sizes, as part of a wider effort to
+encourage users of POSIX systems to migrate from ISO 8859 to UTF-8.
+
+Robert Brady <rwb197@ecs.soton.ac.uk> and Birger Langkjer
+<birger.langkjer@image.dk> contributed thousands of glyphs and made
+very substantial contributions and improvements on almost all fonts.
+Constantine Stathopoulos <cstath@irismedia.gr> contributed all the
+Greek characters. Markus Kuhn <http://www.cl.cam.ac.uk/~mgk25/> did
+most 6x13 glyphs and the italic fonts and provided many more glyphs,
+coordination, and quality assurance for the other fonts. Mark Leisher
+<mleisher@crl.nmsu.edu> contributed to 6x13 Armenian, Georgian, the
+first version of Latin Extended Block A and some Cyrillic. Serge V.
+Vakulenko <vak@crox.net.kiae.su> donated the original Cyrillic glyphs
+from his 6x13 ISO 8859-5 font. Nozomi Ytow <nozomi@biol.tsukuba.ac.jp>
+contributed 6x13 halfwidth Katakana. Henning Brunzel
+<hbrunzel@meta-systems.de> contributed glyphs to 10x20.bdf. Theppitak
+Karoonboonyanan <thep@linux.thai.net> contributed Thai for 7x13,
+7x13B, 7x13O, 7x14, 7x14B, 8x13, 8x13B, 8x13O, 9x15, 9x15B, and 10x20.
+Karl Koehler <koehler@or.uni-bonn.de> contributed Arabic to 9x15,
+9x15B, and 10x20 and Roozbeh Pournader <roozbeh@sharif.ac.ir> and
+Behdad Esfahbod revised and extended Arabic in 10x20. Raphael Finkel
+<raphael@cs.uky.edu> revised Hebrew/Yiddish in 10x20. Jungshik Shin
+<jshin@pantheon.yale.edu> prepared 18x18ko.bdf. Won-kyu Park
+<wkpark@chem.skku.ac.kr> prepared the Hangul glyphs used in 12x13ja.
+Janne V. Kujala <jvk@iki.fi> contributed 4x6. Daniel Yacob
+<perl@geez.org> revised some Ethiopic glyphs. Ted Zlatanov
+<tzz@lifelogs.com> did some 7x14.
