No problem, you can update the font at any time. Being in the library, others are able to find it - and if necessary: edit and improve the font. > Now I know I can make a much better job than I did with Georgi16.

Just go ahead - and don't forget to post some sampels here and the fonts to me :-) > I may yet go back and redo the 16-line version using JavE. Don't > think of the current Georgi16 as the final one, by any means! A lot of fonts have been released in a very basic version and updated later, either for changing characters or for adding others (like umlauts) for example. Just have a look at some comments in the font files (e.g. from the FIGlet editor in JavE). > I removed the final "a" of Georgia removed so as to keep the name 8 > characters long. I know JavE doesn't mind names longer than that. > What software would find a longer name inconvenient? If none, then > I'll change my mind and it can be Georgia16. And Georgia11. There are others with long names (e.g. nancyj-underlined) and I have not heard of any problems yet. No modern operating system has problems with long filenames. So feel free to add the 'a'.
