I personally think the names of these publishers should be published.
They should be held accountable for what they are attempting to do. They
are wrong! This list is probably not the place to publish that
information, but there are other ways.

Secondly, is there anyone on the list, or does anyone know of anyone, who
could help Mounce finish the font? If so, I would strongly encourage you
to please contact Mounce with that information. The Open Source movement
is also working, in a more general way, on opening this whole thing up.

It's OK to think differently, just think together.
Sooner or later that will bring out our faults;
then we can deal with them...together.
