An unsatisfied customer from the Czech Republic emailed to say the accented caps don't work properly - they wouldn't, I had forgotten to insert them! Too much to think about when producing this, my first OpenType typeface. I'm also making more ligated characters which I have noticed are needed through usage, making ordinals, Caps to Small Caps feature, and will take into consideration your comments David. I'm giving serious consideration to making a 'Fine' style with much thinner thin strokes to emulate a lighter hand. Thanks everyone for your comments. I am not optimistic about Veer marketing G-Type again; since their acquisition by Corbis they have developed a very intransigent attitude, with some totally unacceptable clauses in their contract. Shame really, as we did good business together in previous times. I’m working on an update at the moment.

But Nick already knows about that. I've been courtin' him for years. I might as well chime in with FontShop’s interest. But Nick already knows about that. I’ve been courtin’ him for years.

I can't believe G-Type & Veer still haven't gotten their stuff together. Both the rough and smooth will sell like hotcakes. Nick, I'd love to see this on MyFonts, too! Ack!
