that Bob is the designated coder from now on and he alone makes posts, that he check, and if indeed we got two J's, let Bob spot the dupe, hopefully the one he doesn't delete is approximately 650 units high because that's what I strove for, and he can add Christine's and the ones I uploaded and attached earlier.

That sounds good to me but,

what does

he alone makes posts.

mean?

Larry, I think what Gary means is that Bill is now the person to make any corrections / alterations and post the results. We ended up with a few in-progress versions and also compiled font versions by various people and it will be best if Bill alone does it now that we are <--> this close to being done.

Take care, Mike

Sorry for being AWOL for most of the morning. Life gets in the way sometimes and homeowners know how unexpected emergencies can happen.

It will be awhile before I can look over the extra glyphs and fit them into the font files. Sometime this evening I would expect.

@ Larry—

It means everyone can contribute and kibbutz, but those of us equipped with FontLab or Type Tool SHOULDN'T post a new version of the typeface, thus creating confusion as to the most current, real version.

I didn't want to make it sound like a dictatorship, Larry. I just see already massive confusion over the finished typeface. I don't see that Bill has checked in (Bill Taylor, not Bob Taylor, my goof, sorry!), so I'm not sure he'll agree to be FontMaster, but this thing's not going to get finished if everyone with a typeface creation program posts their own "finished" version of Burgeon.

Let one person do the code, let one person upload the typeface, let everyone make suggestions.

We're real close I think.

Well my little emergency has been resolved and my bank account significantly reduced.

I don't mind being FontMaster, I'm learning new things constantly during this collaboration. FontLab Studio (5.0.4) offers many new features that FontLab 3.1 was never designed to do.

I'd appreciate it if we didn't discuss this text to death and just run with it :). It's legal enough, so it serves its purpose and I use the gist of it all the time whenever I post free stuff, with my own credits substituted, natch'.

My Best,

Gary

Thanks for doing that Gare it looks good. I was about to contact Mike about that very thing.

[Gare]

You're welcome, Larry.

It's a very handy template for plugging in specific items. Save it and re-use it with our next fonts.
