This release includes mmd / mrd support (make / remove directory),
progressbars, an improved user interface, autoconf / automake support and lots
of bugfixes.
mfm is released under the GPL and can be downloaded from the mfm-homepage

Greatings. I have recently prepared a detailed document
on using fonts with linux.
The document is at
http://pegasus.rutgers.edu/~elflord/font_howto/
I cover several topics, including Applixware, Star Office,
Latex, ghostscript, true type fonts, and font servers.
I am planning to submit this to the LDP after I'm satisfied
that all the bugs are ironed out and I've collected feedback.
Meanwhile, comments are welcome.
Sincerely,

11th Issue of the "Brave GNU World", the
monthly GNU forum, is online now
-- Georg Greve
Hi !
The 11th issue of the "Brave GNU World" column is online
now. It can be found on the GNU Webpage and its mirrors
or follow the links at the end of this posting.
The "Brave GNU World" is a multilingual (English, German, French,
Japanese and Spanish) monthly column that provides information about
internal developments of the GNU Project and things of importance to
the GNU community, while trying to give insights into the underlying
philosophy. It is available online (see links below) or printed in
Germany´s biggest GNU/Linux magazine, the "Linux Magazin".
If you would like to receive mail about new issues directly, you can
subscribe to the "Brave GNU World" announcement mailinglist. Just
send mail to <brave-gnu-world-request@gnu.org> with "subscribe" in
the *body*. The mailinglist is only for announcements that are related
to the "Brave GNU World" and is of very low volume (between 1 and 4
mails a month).
The eleventh issue covers the following topics:
* Sawmill (a lean and efficient LISP extensible
window manager)
* Free Unix Benchmark Project
(creating a free benchmark suite)
* Informational Human Rights - Part II
(some feedback provided amendments)
* The Sun Community Source License
(some reasons why people dislike the SCSL)
This column intends to provide a forum for all GNU maintainers,
friends and associates and I am always open to suggestions. So if
you
* have questions about the GNU Project that might be of general
interest
* have a GNU Project and would like to improve its profile
* would like to start a GNU Project you are looking for people to
start it with
* think something doesn't get the publicity it deserves
* would like to see something made public
send mail to:
"Brave GNU World <column@gnu.org>"
This column is for everyone with an interest in Free Software,
so don´t hesitate to contact me if your project is under the
GPL/LGPL and you´d like to see it introduced here.
The eleventh issue can be found at
