Main technical improvements
===========================
Brought into line with Debian ttf-freefont
Updated file format to Spline Font Database (SFD) 2 (so now we can use
recent versions of FontForge)
The recent versions of FontForge are much superior to those of acouple
of years ago. Besides being much more stable, they now do quite
thorough checking for font problems. Thanks to George!
Line height improved
(it is still slightly increased: see discussion below)
Glyph outlines in Windows are now good
(see discussion below)
Now works in Windows and Mac OS
I have installed and used it in Windows Vista, and it has been tested
on Mac OS X
Path problems fixed
open paths
intersecting paths
outermost paths not clockwise
no control point at path vert. or horiz. extrema
flipped references
mixed references and contours
many "points too close" fixed
Lookup table (ATT) problems
especially in Sans: Indic ranges were a complete mess
Validation
all faces now pass FontForge validate
Back layer
removed all back layers: fixed "ghost glyph" in printing
Font Info: Manufacturer (like OS/2 Vendor ID) is now GNU
Copyright date updated
