please, make an effort and name some examples -- the reason i ask is  
because i can't think of none.

most 'free-as-in-liberty' fonts i know of were _not_ developed in  
'free-as-in-liberty' fashion: vera, gentium, liberation, droid, gfs  
fonts -- they were all produced by professional type-designers/ 
foundries in a 'closed' fashion, and at some point distributed under  
a free-license. that's definitely not the same thing...
