### Third party fonts: |
| 55 |
|
| 56 |
This library may include third party font files released with different licenses. |
| 57 |
|
| 58 |
All the PHP files on the fonts directory are subject to the general TCPDF license (GNU-LGPLv3), |
| 59 |
they do not contain any binary data but just a description of the general properties of a particular font. |
| 60 |
These files can be also generated on the fly using the font utilities and TCPDF methods. |
| 61 |
|
| 62 |
All the original binary TTF font files have been renamed for compatibility with TCPDF and compressed using the gzcompress PHP function that uses the ZLIB data format (.z files). |
| 63 |
|
| 64 |
The binary files (.z) that begins with the prefix "free" have been extracted from the GNU FreeFont collection (GNU-GPLv3). |
| 65 |
The binary files (.z) that begins with the prefix "pdfa" have been derived from the GNU FreeFont, so they are subject to the same license. |
| 66 |
