An addendum to this topic: there are evidently still software projects out
there whose users rely heavily on type and need a good font selection --
but aren't currently getting one.
Nicolas Spalinger just posted a link to this LibreOffice proposal:
I'd like to support the idea of OFL indexing Open Source fonts that
are hosted elsewhere. To speak as a frequent visitor to OFL and an
occasional font maker, it would be great to have a resource that
aggregates Libre fonts (or at least the major ones) and is actually
kept up to date.

Having looked at the required data model more in depth, and looking at my own
feature wish list, I'm no longer convinced that Drupal is the right tool for

I like the idea, but Drupal has a huge developer community
Lots of frameworks have a huge developer community. Here in MN, the WordPress
and Rail communities rival, if not exceed, the local Drupal community. The

what will support the most successful OFLB.
The OFLB project has failed to attracted any developers beyond the
