Getting involved

Development of Fontutils, and GNU in general, is a volunteer effort, and you can contribute. For information, please read How to help GNU . If you'd like to get involved with Fontutils in particular, you should join the bugs mailing list (see above) and express not only your desire to help but also your area of interest.

For development sources, bug and patch trackers, and other information, please see the Fontutils project page at savannah.gnu.org. Please feel free to look at the old task list.

A patch for an older release is available to fix some string constants (a trivial change, legally speaking). It does not apply to the development sources.

Fontutils is currently maintained by Adam M. Dutko. Please use the mailing list for contact.
