C’est dit avec tant de délicatesse !

I did not say that you should not take care of packaging. Just that we have 
Information field in "name" table (& I deeply regret that most of fonts does 
not provide info here) where README content would fit well. Plus, installing 
fonts is not a per font process, so I continue to think that documenting it 
once on the web site would be enough.

"spread"? For myself I just want FLOSS fonts to be good. Ruling the world is 
the second step!
