That would most likely bring down the labour costs, or allow a larger budget to be even better mobilised. To some who manage Free Software projects these sums can seem steep, but i strongly suggest they are great investments because they are spent on adding unparalleled value to the software. Libre fonts can be superb investments for free Software. The more projects like this that are funded, more and better Free Software can be developed. -vernon _______________________________________________ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
