[Freetype] Source of public domain fonts?

[Dave Williss]

I am in search of a truly public-domain TrueType font that I can include

in our software package. 

For windows we just find the True Type fonts that Windows knows about

and use FreeType to render them.  Same on the Mac (Mac OS 9.X

anyway.  I have yet to determine where they are on Mac OS X and

if they have TrueType or what).

The main problem is on Unix.  There's no standard place to store fonts

and they typically don't even have TrueType fonts available.  So I need

to supply one or two to fall back on.  Ideally, I'd like three fonts:

One fixed (courier-ish), one sans-serif (arial-ish or helvetica-ish) and

one serif (times-ish) font.  We wouldn't mind paying for said fonts

as long as we would have permission to distribute them with our

product royalty-free.  Royalties would be hard to work out since

anybody can download a free limited-use version of our software.
