We all have to start somewhere, and the beauty of freedom is that
mistakes can be fixed by anyone who cares about them.

Thanks :-)

The project deadline is in a few weeks, so I'll make a proper release
around then with proper metadata (ie, license), an italic, and decent
diacritics (the ones in that font are AWFUL)

I'd surely welcome your comments, and if you want to tweak the glyphs
and send them to me to take a look at, please do - however, until I
make a proper release, you can't redistribute your modified version
:-)

I'm VERY happy to hear this confirmation that there is commercial
demand for open fonts.

That sounds great!

GPLv3, plus additional permissions for PDF embedding.
