Have you viewed it in linux yet? Or do you mean it looks flawless onscreen in windows? A few questions. Is your font truetype? What did you use to make it? Did you write your own hinting instructions? Would you be willing to help someone who wants to make more fonts? Would you be interested in making more yourself? If noone else has offered, I'd love to package this font for inclusion in debian, or include it a free-ttfonts package with a few other gpl tt fonts. > thanks, thank you! > Dustin Norlander > michael -- michael cardenas | lead software engineer | lindows.com | hyperpoem.net "Each something is a celebration of the nothing that supports it." - John Cage
