Availability

IMHO is still available for free download from Netscape FTP at least. While Bitstream doesn't like it that mich, the original contract with Netscape seem to enforce this. See ftp://ftp.netscape.com/pub/communicator/extras/fonts/windows/ --Pjacobi 23:18, 19 Dec 2004 (UTC)

The link is already in the article. Cyberbit was freely given to all members of the Unicode consortium originally, and as such it must remain free within the terms of its official license agreement (non-commercial use or testing purposes only). 08:39, 20 Dec 2004 (UTC)

But why does the article states, that A free alternative for Bitstream Cyberbit available for all non-commercial use is Titus Cyberbit Basic? It seems to me the Bitstream Cyberbit license [1] is less restrictive than the Titus Cyberbit license. --Pjacobi 09:35, 20 Dec 2004 (UTC)

I have taken another look at the files: the Netscape Cyberbit is a font that has not been updated in years, and Bitstream is not happy with it. Titus Cyberbit was created in coöperation with Bitstream, and licencing of that one is clear. Anárion 17:50, 20 Dec 2004 (UTC)

Regarding the "someone wants this page deleted" notice: I found this article interesting and useful. Sorry if I can't find time to motivate myself here, but I would prefer it if this page could be kept.

Nàng

Is the 齉 really that ugly in Cyberbit, or are the misalignments rendering boo-boos? How to fix the image is dependent on the answer. -BRPXQZME (talk) 22:14, 14 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
