G'day All;
Some not very suprising news this morning, Micrsoft have taken there
previously ``free'' (as in beer) truetype fonts from the web, these
are used by the truetype spell in the x11 section. At the moment the
spell sources the fonts from another site, this is against the EULA
of the fonts so they may or may not around for long.
I personally don't use these fonts so it is no biggie for me and I'm
tempted to remove the spell from the grimoire, but YYMV so I'm after a
bit of community feed back (a poll if I may).
Should we...
1) Keep the spell as is, until the alternate source goes down.
2) Remove the spell from the grimoire.
3) Move the spell to z_rejected with a warning about the legality of
downloading these fonts.
