Yes, and I like it because its SHOUTING ALL CAPS is useful to say "This is an important file you should look at, dear user" :-) > That aside, why not accept the file regardless of casing and, partly, > file extension as well? The versions I remember seeing are: I think we'll accept any capitalisation and with or without extensions, since they'll be in a zip file for downlaods and sucked into a mysql database for display in the OFLB webpages. This really is about what to uniformly refer to these documents as in prose, like on this list or on the wiki - what the house style should be for OFLB. I'm happy to call a fontlog a fontlog, and to encourage people to upload fontlog.txt files, for the reasons Nicolas M suggests, but I don't mind.
