Comment:

 It's about 63kb compressed, so it's a reasonable size for inclusion.  What
 are our font criteria?  It seems there are probably *lots* of fonts which
 kids would enjoy using.  Should we be encouraging downloads into
 ~olpc/.fonts instead?

 It seems we could probably find a nice 'cursive' script with better latin-
 alphabet support.
