Airbus is open sourcing a cockpit font

Hi,

If anyone interested, Airbus is open sourcing the font used in its future cockpit projects. Their target is maximum legibility in constrained environments. That would probably be very nice to package for embedded Fedora uses, coding, etc.

Might be nice for use in flight sims too.
