Dear Alexander,
 
Thank you for your kind words. We think this will give
all users and 
developers in the Linux community a font solution
right out of the box. I 
hope you soon get a chance to use our Bitstream Vera
font family ! Stay 
tuned to GNOME to see which version our fonts will be
released in. I 
think they will be in GNOME v2.3.
 
We at Bitstream are trying to work with the GNOME
Foundation to provide 
a small set of WGL4 fonts. WGL4 fonts include Cyrillic
characters. 
However, this is all in early development right now,
and nothing has been 
set in stone. So it would be wrong for me to say, Yes,
we plan to 
provide WGL4 character set support, including Cyrillic
support.
 
Please stay tuned for further developments. Our goal
is to help GNOME 
and the open source community as much as possible.
 
Kind regards,
-Bob Thomas
Bitstream Inc.

        Dear Mr. Thomas,
        First I would like to thank you for yor wonderful
gift
        to
        the free software community - the free fonts you are
        to
        release.
        I am in no doubt that they will be of the high
quality
        your company has provided up till now.
        As I am a developer that takes special interest in
        making software work for my country - Bulgaria,
        I am very interested whether your fonts will include
        the glyphs of temporary Cyrillic alphabet. This is
        very important not only to me and may rather small
        coutrybut to big countries and the numerous users in
        Russia too.
        I would very much like a second press release stating
        the
        included alphabets - Latin, Greek, Cyrillic etc.
        Whether they ionclude my aplhabet or not - you still
        are making a very big gift.
        Thanx a lot.
        Best regards:
        Alexander Shopov
