I spent some time during Xmas holidays thinking about an environment for testing fonts: actually the aim would be to easily create images showing how a font renders some text. I wrote down some notes wich I will post as soon as they're polished. I discussed this and was helped on this with the Dejavu developers. I'd also like to see more documentation (tutorials?) on how to hack fonts (for example about hinting) along with a policy for fonts. regards, Davide
