Resignation From DejaVu Fonts

This is not as easy as I thought it would be, but anyway. I am resigning from my position as project manager and maintainer of DejaVu fonts.

I've been thinking about it for couple of months. My time reserved for the project got very limited and I also lost a joy of taking care of it. It has been great one and a half year and I really enjoyed it and got lot from it, but now it became more of a nuisance than anything else.

Not shining, but still good

DejaVu News I.

Welcome to the first installment of irregular DejaVu News bringing you the latest and greatest from the world of DejaVu fonts.

We did it again with 1.8

Yes, version 1.8 was released almost on time, but without any big changes, only all accents in experimental typefaces were fixed.

But at least we jumped over one percent in freshmeat.net's Popularity rank.
