I'm up to sortsmill-tools in my once-per-release-upload-everything run
so I'm revisiting this thread.
Why fork FontForge instead of contributing to upstream?
Why does it have the same name as Barry Schwartz' sortsmill-tools?
Will future versions of Prociono and Goudy Book Letter build with the
FontForge sortsmill-tools?
What is the future of Barry Schwartz' sortsmill-tools?
