Hi there,

My proposal for OFLB font uploads in the next version of the site is to 
accept

.otf
.ttf

which are far and away going to be the most widely appreciated, then

.pfa
.pfm
.pfb
.afm
.bdf

which are Adobe-ish formats that are all in the current site: are they 
all needed?

Then the X-Windows format, if it is still in use:
.pcf

Then humna-readable source:
.sfd

What else? Metafont files (?.mf)?

A short list is better, I think. Suggestions?

Thanks,
Ben
