Open fonts
As time permits, I’ll be converting all* my fonts to OpenType and re-releasing them over the next however-long-it-takes. I will make the source files available as FontForge native files and everything will be covered by the Open Font License (OFL).
There should be several benefits:- accessible source files that can be edited by anyone prepared to use FontForge, which is open source in its own right
- the OpenType format, although subject to some considerable amount of strangeness, is basically a Good Thing and a lot closer to being cross-platform than anything else
- the OFL states my intention to let anybody fiddle about with the fonts – as long as, if they distribute what they’ve done, they allow everyone else to keep fiddling about with that.
*All the ones that seem, on inspection, to merit a second look. Starting with Puritan.
