Ken, that is very generous and helpful of you! Koji, what I said earlier about "with modification" would more precisely be "with modification done by someone other than the designer of the font". If Ken makes changes that are needed for the CSS test suite, the OFL carries over to the modified font and a name change is neither needed nor desirable. > I am not familiar with how the CSS test suites work, so I would > need to be specific instructions about what needs to be changed or > added, even if it means creating additional font resources.
