Although we could switch those four Utopia Type 1 fonts over to OFL, it would be a big bureaucratic hassle, much like the previous licensing switch. Given how open the current licensing is, we just don't see enough to be gained from this to make it worth the above-mentioned hassle, and are inclined to leave it alone for now. @Fil: Of course, as a typeface designed and released around 1989, the Type 1 version of Utopia does not have extensive language support compared to our newer (e.g. Arno, Garamond Premier, Hypatia Sans) or core (e.g. Minion Pro, Myriad Pro) typefaces.

What would ou say are the "best" open-source fonts with a large utf-8 span? Hi,

it seems that Utopia doesn’t handle accentuated characters like œ, so it’s a kind of dead-end, again. What would ou say are the “best” open-source fonts with a large utf-8 span?
