I have already committed this, it only required 1 line of code (a 
return statament); I agree that under present circumstances it is 
not essential, but it could be, should we one day decide to move 
out of our font directory.

Thanks.

Great, I think my names differ in capitalisation, so that should be 
problem solved.
