Again same silly argument.
Well, if you had known how hard it is to make a decent font - you wouldn't be such throwing harsh word with font names that easily.
I for one did help people designing fonts. It is terrible, time consuming, exhausting work.
Anybody who knows a little about font industry - and why/how it exists - would keep their mouth shut. Ask anybody who spends yearly hundreds $$$/€€€ buying fonts would tell you why.
You can complain your ass off. But unless you ever designed single character - or better whole font - you are just whiner.
Conclusion. Providing three more free fonts - is a great achievement. Polishing them up might take time - but can be done. More bricks into foundation of cheap/free DTP on Linux - better.
