Hi, Dave!

Libre Graphics Meeting on the development of my Tai Tham font.
I think there is a fairly interesting story that is being driven by the
synergies of unmet needs and unfolding at the intersection of technology

Hi, Dave!
Thanks for posting - this looks very interesting.
Usually around the holidays I can find a bit more time to work on special
projects, and so I am now gearing up and excited to get back to work on

process!

I also have thought that by hosting the fonts, they will probably
start tracking font popularity, if nothing else. It would be pretty
interesting, both for consumers of fonts and font authors, to have
actual data on the relative popularity of various fonts.

Hi, Nicolas,
Getting the SVG output small enough would really not be a problem.
There are serveral ways to do it:
* One way is to send over the SVG data but be sure to use CSS classes
for the styling. A lot of SVG graphics programs inline too much style
information repeatedly, which is
a shaper library like Pango or
Uniscribe.

Hi, Brendan,
The PHP getId3() library is at http://getid3.sourceforge.net/. It
might be worth looking into how to expand this library to recognize
the TTF and OTF file headers, perhaps? The idea here seems quite
similar to what the *Nix file command does. If someone were to look
at the *nix
One can always change a file name extension to something else, so
testing against the file extension is probably not useful. PHP's
$_FILES['userfile']['type'] will indicate the file's mime type if
provided by the browser, but I don't know how browsers determine the
mime type for uploaded files.
I agree with Chris 100%.
When I took a look at the http://typeface.neocracy.org/ project and code, I
was surprised at all the work they had put in to it. One problem with this
approach is that it is so temporary -- as soon as @font-face becomes more
