    Muchos gracias, but is it too much to ask to include some nice screenshots when publishing new fonts? People may want to know if these fonts are worth installing, which, under Linux without fontconfig, is unfortunately a pain in the ass.

    Would it have been so hard to create a few images showing what the fonts actually look like?

    I never understood how open source/*nix misses the usability bandwagon again and again, even with something as simple as releasing a new font. Please tell me I'm wrong and somewhere, clearly marked, is a picture of this font.

    I just want to say "Thank you!" to the MANY people who worked to make this possible. We all owe them a round of applause.
