Description Joseph S. Atkinson 2010-04-10 06:50:03 UTC 
Introducing Ecofont!

Since this has made rounds in the media twice now, I figure it's time that FreeBSD does its part to help with any potential global ink shortages.

Ecofont is a Bistream Vera Sans variant with tiny "swiss cheese" holes throughout the individual letters for the purposes of saving printer ink.

Ecofont claims to save you up to 25% in ink and toner used.

See http://www.ecofont.com/en/products/green/font/download-the-ink-saving-font.html

Fix: Patch attached with submission follows:

  Log:
  Ecofont is designed to conserve ink and toner by placing minute holes in the
  individual letters of the typeface. Ecofont claims to use up to 25% less ink,
  potentially saving larger institutions thousands of dollars every year without
  sacrificing legibility.
