doc: Show RFN permissions more visibly
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
[why]
The fonts where we are allowed to keep the font name despite the RFN
clause in the license have nothing mentioning of RFN or the exception in
the readmes. But it is recommended (required?) by SIL to inform users of
that exception in a most transparent way.

[how]
Add that bit of information to the readme files in the patched-fonts
directories and the release archives.

[note]
Also some other information seemed to be missing, by the complete
rebuild of the readme it also got updated (Gohu/ProFont).

For more information have a look at the upstream websites: http://font.gohu.org/ https://github.com/koemaeda/gohufont-ttf

The Unicode versions of the 11px font are based extensively on the fixed 6x10 font by Markus Kuhn (http://www.cl.cam.ac.uk/~mgk25/ucs-fonts.html).
I used the Terminus font in 14 px with great satisfaction for a long time before I decided to make gohufont 14 px, so it surely inspired me and they may share some similarities in appearance. It is not a derivative work though. Thanks to Dimitar Zhekov for his great font.
