Thanks for your efforts in providing previews.<br>
<br>
The tools which Ed Trager has worked on for the OFLB<br>
(pango-cairo-font-playground) provide support for generating previews<br>
beyond what "convert" from imagemagick currently allows us to do.<br>
Should allow us to get rid of the questions marks and empty boxes... :-)<br>
<br>
So integrated previewing is underway and will be available on the live<br>
site hopefully soon.<br>
<br>
BTW, OFL is the license and OFLB is the library :-)<br>
<br>
<br>
People who are yet not aware of it may also be interested by the review<br>
we run weekly for all the fonts in Debian: various metadata fields and<br>
to-be-improved previewing too: <a href="http://pkg-fonts.alioth.debian.org/review/" target="_blank">http://pkg-fonts.alioth.debian.org/review/</a><br>
