Slashed grace notes

2016-03-27 Thread Andrew Bernard

Hi Abraham, I sympathise with your employment redundancy and the issues it creates, and understand this as a rationale for you re-licensing your fonts under a commercial licence. While there is nothing wrong with that, I wonder if you have done your market research on this? How many people are
