Test.rrf is an opensource font from a nehe tutorial,
http://nehe.gamedev.net/
testout.ttf is a font I made based on test.ttf.
Veramodb.ttf is an GPL font from gnome - http://www.gnome.org/fonts/
(I've added the copyright for this one).

Regards,
Gavin

Hello Gavin,

A debian user notified my about Truetype fonts included in scorched3d:

>> ls data/fonts/*
data/fonts/test.ttf  data/fonts/testout.ttf  data/fonts/veramobd.ttf

I cannot find any licensing or copyright information in the scorched3d
source. Without proper licencing, these files are probably not
redistributable by anyone but you.

Could you perhaps give me origin and copyright information about these
fonts via email and include that information somewhere in the source?
