I understand the concern for the initial care in children's literacy, but I think the fears are unfounded and instead of seeking to create or modify fonts to suit what he considers fundamental to literacy for children and prevent problems and confusions . But I think that the approach is not the best, I bet most of what is always done to expose children to different types of writing and letters to broaden their outlook and also avoid confusion, rather than restricted to a "pure" version . -- users mailing list users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Fedora Code of Conduct: http://fedoraproject.org/code-of-conduct Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines Have a question?
