I don't quite agree. My original idea was a competition mainly between software, but not necessarily between software out of the box. I wanted to see which program truly is the best to get the best possible engraving in different situations. That would include adding additional tools such as plugins. Fonts are a slightly different matter in my opinion, because any of the professional packages allow to use any font that is in a standard format. I think I'd like to limit fonts to the package included ones for some of the set works, while allowing anything for others. I would definitely allow all plugins that are available to anyone, whether freeware or not.
