Ooo, fun.  I'm going to quibble though and say that it has been "built" (by
me), and not updating the release makes reviews harder.

Hmm, okay, but I still wonder what the differences are.

This doesn't sit right - if we're packaging the font, the whole thing should be
packaged.

Okay, if it is a usable format - just seemed strange to me.

Thanks (who's being lazy now :)

Sorry, they are in the Desktop typeface directory and not (yet) packaged.

I think some more discussion may need to happen with the packaging committee
and the font folks (i.e. Nicolas).
