“Bitstream…and Corel…announced today that Corel has licensed
a Linux(r) font server currently being developed by Bitstream.
Corel will integrate this font server into the office and graphics
suites that it is currently developing for Linux.”
“Bitstream’s new Linux font server can render PostScript(r)
Type 1 fonts, in addition to TrueType(r) and other industry
standard font formats. It also succeeds at making fonts on the
Linux OS user friendly by providing robust and intuitive font
management that is comparable to what is currently available for
the Windows(r) or Macintosh(r) operating systems. The new
Bitstream(r) technology will help the Linux platform overcome one
of its most significant barriers to acceptance in the desktop
market.”
“Corel recently released its first Linux operating system,
Corel(r)LINUX(r) OS and is currently developing office and graphics
suitesfor Linux. Corel(r) WordPerfect(r) 8 for Linux(r) has been
hugely successful as a free download: the office suite for Linux
will be available in early 2000. The CorelDRAW(r) graphics suite
for Linuxwill be available in the summer of 2000. Corel is
currently integrating the Bitstream font server into both of these
suites.”
