Is the current release what we can find on http://wiki.skolelinux.de/FreieSchriftarten/VereinfachteAusgangsschrift Or is there another upstream page? I can't seem to find the page for "Gruenewald VA". I assume you will know where to look. The upstream author has a page with various other open fonts: http://www.peter-wiegel.de/Fonts.html Some of them could useful be picked up by members of the team too, any takers? Anyway, I'll prepare a package so we can get this font co-maintained by the team. Cheers, -- Nicolas Spalinger, NRSI volunteer Debian/Ubuntu font team / OpenFontLibrary http://planet.open-fonts.org
