# HamsterOS Font Sources

These TrueType fonts are the repo-owned sources for the generated HamsterOS VGA font tables:

- `HamsterSmall.ttf` - compact resident UI face.
- `HamsterSystem.ttf` - screen-optimized resident system UI face.
- `Arimo.ttf` - Arial-compatible sans-serif document face.
- `Cousine-Regular.ttf` - Courier-compatible monospace.
- `Tinos-Regular.ttf` - Times-compatible serif.
- `Orbitron.ttf` - futuristic display face.
- `EBGaramond.ttf` - Garamond-style serif.
- `Pacifico-Regular.ttf` - cursive script face.

`tools/mkvga_fonts.py` rasterizes `HamsterSmall.ttf` and `HamsterSystem.ttf` into the resident chrome fallback in `drivers/vga_fonts.inc`. The six document faces rasterize into individual `/FONTS/*.HFF` files used by document/sample faces. The base disk carries Arial and Courier; Hamster Extras carries Times, Future, Garamond, and Script.

The six document faces come from Google Fonts and are licensed under the SIL Open Font License, Version 1.1. Source URLs, copyright notices, and the full license text are in `../../contrib/extras/LICENSES/FONTS.TXT`. `HamsterSmall.ttf` and `HamsterSystem.ttf` retain their LGPL-2.1-or-later notices in their embedded font metadata. The public ZIP/Zork source archive includes the full LGPL-2.1 text as `assets/fonts/COPYING.LGPL-2.1`.
