@jenskutilek Since .vfb is by far the most efficient font file container that I know of, how about ufo2vfb? :-) If I convert my 118432 vfb files to UFO, I'll need an extra disk or two.

    @LucasFonts @jenskutilek that is really hard to believe! 118.432 * ±800 glyphs per font and you draw them all at a ratio of 1 min per glyph... for 8 hours per day without holidays then you must be at least ±548 year old... knowing you had to carve them by hand the first 450 year... then have slow computers for the next 20 year...

    @LucasFonts @jenskutilek If you don't care about version control and collaboration at all, then sure, I can see how 100s of thousands of undocumented binary blobs can look attractive.
