Ok, I'd be happier if I knew of some ways I could perform QA on the modifications which I make.

I'd be interested to hear about the methods you use to merge work back and forth. Is it simply a matter of copying and pasting things in Fontforge, or is there more to it than that?

Ok, I'll pass on anything I find out. -- Dafydd -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
