Freetype Lands In... Microsoft Office?

    If God existed that would scare me too. I find the notion of a cold, uncaring universe more comforting than that of an omnipotent and omniscient deity who nonetheless runs the world like He does.

    i do realise that, and, no, that isnt ironic, please look up the word irony and stop using it incorrectly. also, im not a GPL moron, i hate the GPL, i actually thing the GPL is a non-free licence has it places more restrictions on a piece of software than an EULA. im a BSD guy. so suck on that
