Of course, such standardization is for the benefit of formats, and we have some well-standardized font formats already. If you wanted a new font format, you probably would have to give away fonts to establish it as a standard. > I have a life thank you I'm a good programmer who is extremely > interested in the formation of a standard body of fonts. Until someone can see a way to profit from creating and freely distributing the standard body of fonts you want, they won't happen. I don't see a way to make money at it, and if you don't either, you're wasting your time complaining. - David Lemon type nerd Sphinx of black quartz judge my vow!
