Description-en: metapackage for open font design
This package provides all tools needed to design, adapt, improve and
hack on open fonts, including recommendations for the ones needed to
do font design in a collaborative manner using VCS (version control
systems).
.
A growing number of high-quality fonts are released under the Open Font
License (or similar recognized font-specific licenses) to allow distributing,
modifying, improving and branching by others including adding new glyphs and
smart behaviours, extending the Unicode coverage, improving hinting and
allowing new languages to be supported on the free desktop and, of course,
fixing bugs.
.
The various OFL'ed fonts are listed at http://scripts.sil.org/OFL_fonts and at
http://unifont.org/fontguide
.

implementations and packaging can be found on these website from the open font
