fontforge: update to 20201107.
On Wednesday, November 7th, 2000, George W. Williams V first
published a piece of software called PfaEdit that allowed rudimentary
editing of PostScript fonts. It lacked the features and polish of
such prominent products as Fontographer and Font Studio, but it
had one big advantage: it was free.
Twenty years later, Fontographer and FontStudio are gone, and the
whereabouts of George Williams are unknown, but FontForge has grown
into a highly capable and mature product. It supports dozens of
file formats and includes such features as spline stroking, overlap
removal, and Python scripting. And it is still free software. With
over 100,000 users, it is the most widely used typeface design tool
in the world.
It may seem anti-climactic that today's 20th anniversary release
includes no major changes or new features, but it perfectly befits
a product that has evolved carefully and slowly over its entire
lifecycle with almost no breaking changes. Whether for the special
commemorative splash screen or for the countless small improvements
and fixes, we hope that you will try it. It is available, as always,
on the FontForge website <https://fontforge.org/>;.
The entire project team thank you for your support.
