I fine way to help with the package, which doesn't even require any committment, is to submit bugreports including patches. By including the patches in bug reports (and setting the "patch" tag on the bug report), you insure that there's a record of your contribution and that whoever the maintainer can't misplace or forget about the patch. That's especially important now, since defoma hasn't yet been adopted by anybody. > Because I was frustrated with the hinting program that came with Defoma, > I wrote a Defoma auto-hinter in C against the Freetype2 libraries > that'll rip through 1300 fonts in about a second and generate a properly > formatted Defoma hint file automagically.

Patches are more than welcome. noah -- _______________________________________________________ | Web: http://web.morgul.net/~frodo/ | PGP Public Key: http://web.morgul.net/~frodo/mail.html
