I'm keeping an eye on PfaEdit, but I think it is still quite unstable at the moment. I'm waiting for it to mature (both in terms of stability, features and usability) so that I don't get frustrated working with fonts. As to your idea, well, I've had an early draft at http://dreamer.nitro.dk/gnu/fff for some time now. But my idea was of a project for all font types -- not just TrueType. I think the first stage should be to define the concept of "Free font". The question is, if you were to make "Free" fonts, how do the standard free licences apply to fonts? A font isn't exactly a program with it's binary and a source... It would be interesting hear RMS's opinion, because I sure he has made some thoughts on the subject because a Free GNU system need Free fonts. I was thinking of sending an email to gnu.org with questions on this subject, but I don't have motivation right now :-) Perhaps someone else could do it? Perhaps someone already *has* done it? -- Sergej Malinovski [http://dreamer.nitro.dk] _______________________________________________ Fonts mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://XFree86.Org/mailman/listinfo/fonts
