Updates and direction from concerned parties are always welcome at FWN.
I'll try to incorporate some of this material for FWN#161 unless Nicu
feels he wants to have a shot at it in the Artwork section? Previously
as Nicu points out we have recently carried some information on the
changes with fonts[1][2] and we're happy to carry more.  A polite prod
when we've missed an obvious area of coverage is useful.  Thank you
Nicolas.

We used to have a Fonts beat writer and it would probably be worth
trying to get a replacement as there's obviously a lot of activity to
cover.  Pascal: another item for the IRC meeting agenda? "Recruit Fonts
beat writer."
