Hi,

A font project can be hosted on Savannah. Feel free to
submit the project.

Hello,

Ever since URW released the core 35 PostScript fonts
under the GPL, but even more so after George Williams's
Pfaedit font editor <http://pfaedit.sourceforge.net/>
advanced to a stage when it is actually useful, I am
contemplating the idea of extending the URW fonts to
cover a larger portion of ISO10646/Unicode character
set.

I could have started a project on Sourceforge, but its
recent evolution away from openess makes me uneasy. The
Savannah rules, however, state that "currently we are
only accepting software projects and software
documentation projects in Savannah". Is this going to
change any time soon? On the other hand - PostScript
Type1 fonts are technically speaking programs written
in PostScript. Can they thus be counted as software?

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

Best regards,
Primoz
