Mona Font is a Japanese proportional font for the X Window System, derived from the Shinonome raster font family. It aims to represent Shift JIS art graphics properly, almost all of which require the MS PGothic font. Mona is named after Mona, a character-based mascot of 2channel. Current version is 2.90.
Contents
Mona uses glyphs from Shinonome (東雲) version 0.9.9 (Gothic) for embedded bitmaps. In version 2.30-pre, it incorporated outline from Kochi-Gothic. However, it was changed to Kochi-substitute in 2.30-pre2 after discovering the copyright violation in Kochi font. Glyphs share the characteristics of MS PGothic.
Mona supports following code pages: 1252 (Latin 1), 1250 (Latin 2: East Europe), 1251 (Cyrillic), 1253 (Greek), 932 (JIS/Japan), 737 (Greek; former 437G), 437 (US).
