Hi everyone,
I'm looking for some real-world UFO fonts to stress-test a utility with --
in particular, anything that has particularly large .GLIFs or GLIFs with
lots and lots (LOTS) of layers. Suggestions?
Thanks,
Nate

Hello fellow librarians,
I have a semi-out-of-the-blue idea to pitch to the group about OFLB. I've
tossed it around with a couple of people in private conversation, and I
think it's worth looking into, so I want feedback from the interested
parties as a whole.
Back in December, I was thinking

Just curious: what would be an upgrade model and what resources? I do

I'm _generally_ in favor of pursuing the trademark front as an alternative
to RFN (although obviously at this point it's a bit experimental). I
wonder, though, if recommending trademarks would be problematic because of
the differences in trademark law between jurisdictions.

An addendum to this topic: there are evidently still software projects out
there whose users rely heavily on type and need a good font selection --
but aren't currently getting one.
Nicolas Spalinger just posted a link to this LibreOffice proposal:
It might be ambitious for 0.6, but I'd like to at least throw out there
that a future release could create installable packages. Starting with
RPMs and .Debs since, let's face it, Linux users are the most tuned in to
open fonts.
Not necessarily automatically from raw OTF/TTFs, but at least
Just curious: does anyone have a Cyrillic namelist for FontForge that
they've been using? Because it seems like either AGL list in FF doesn't
include it or merely the version(s) I've found don't. Latin, Latin-Ext A,
and miscellaneous (math, punctuation, etc) is about it Having Cyrillic,
Question:: I'm preparing for the next release of News Cycle, my News
Gothic revival (http://www.glyphography.com/fonts/), which mostly will
be about adding Cyrillic. But I'm currently killing time waiting for
feedback from alpha-testers, so I've been adding miscellaneous glyphs

I don't think they can; I was only saying that those three things (Apt repo,
font name, .sfd-only) are orthogonal. Or

Hi everyone;
I mentioned this to a couple of you individually at LGM this year, but for
everyone else, I decided I want to work on a revival -- in large part to get
better with the font toolchain but without having to start entirely from
scratch.
So I've been looking over sample books and trying
