Footnotes
- ↑ While on Linux and Mac, most fonts can be made to look good, Windows's ClearType hinting can be rather aggressive to fonts not specially hinted for it. To check how your font behaves, install it under Windows, make sure you have ClearType enabled (enabled by default on Vista/7/8, for instruction for XP see here). Then open LibreOffice Writer, set your font, set a small font size (8–12 pt at 100% zoom), copy in some blind text and look at the result. If the heights of the small letters "xsewn" vary, your font probably isn't fit to be included. Likewise, if the type looks greyish and less sharp than usual, you have probably happened upon a Type-1 based font which you shouldn't submit here either.
