> DejaVu had already proven at that time fontforge was more than good enough for a complex modern font. In the sense that you can write a complex application in assembler, yes. With an assembler full of quirks and bugs. I have used Fontforge, I know why I ran from it and why people have been payed to improve it and not gotten far. > That's what the ”professional” mindview gets you: dead projects with no live community DejaVu is clearly alive to prove your point. How about this: font design is different from software development and _not_ the forté of the open source community. The subpar open-source tooling to work on these things certainly has not helped. The Ubuntu font was maybe just good enough for most people. > so everyone understands it's your business and your business alone to improve the font, and third parties are not welcome. I took on Cantarell and refreshing the technicalities of the Ubuntu font as a third-party and was welcomed. _______________________________________________ devel mailing list -- devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to devel-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
