Now, the big question is: Is anybody other than me going to contribute code to it? The bigger question is... what needs to be contributed? What parts, features, code, bugs, etc. need to be added or removed? David A.

What parts, features, code, bugs, etc. need to be added or removed? Actually, now that I think about it, there isn't very much. :-) It does the job. Support for handling antialiased fonts would be nice, I guess, but not necessary (ideally, one would want to be able to move between little-endian FontSmoother fonts and big-endian Plucker fonts). If someone actually wanted to extend it into a font editor, it would be great. I've also had reports that some of the alphafonts don't get recognized. Stability is very good. For months, I got no report of a bug other than one report of not recognizing a font (except today, when the version I released was mis-compiled; this is fixed in 1.41, which is also released). Another option for what to do with the code would be to roll the font scanning and conversion code into Plucker (and other readers), and let Plucker _directly_ access fonts in other formats. Anyway, it's there for anybody who wants to do anything with it (within the confines of the GPL). Alex -- Dr. Alexander R.
