With the help of the Fabricatorz development and design team, the new version is more instructive, organized and pretty. These updates enhance the Open Font Library's commitment to the freedom of fonts, but the new version places special emphasis on the role of people and the community behind the project. The new features and revisions increase the collaborative nature of the Open Font Library. Chief among them is an online translation tool which allows volunteers to improve language support on the site. The translation tool is simple and straight-forward, with step-by-step instructions in the Guidebook to walk translators through the process. Currently, Portuguese, German, Polish, and Spanish translations are in development—which will broaden the global appeal of the Open Font Library. The Guidebook itself—Open Font Library's "How-to" manual, so to speak—has received significant updates and revisions to assist those interested in using the site in whatever capacity. Every page is now divided into three main categories: Contribute, Information and Technical. The Guidebook pages help explain everything from basic activities, like "How to report a bug" and "How to contribute to an existing font", to technical concerns like, “How to install FontForge” and the details of “Collaborative Design Workflows.” "There are now more ways to participate in the Open Font Library than ever before," says Open Font Library's lead developer Christopher Adams. "With this latest release, everyone from serious type designers to curious typophiles has a chance to get involved. That is the beauty of the Open Font Library: it allows for a diverse community with a common passion to work together, regardless of expertise." With the 0.5 release, the Open Font Library aims to get even more people on board with free fonts.
