   Workplace Sans 0.81

   From: "Alex Taylor"    
      
   Workplace Sans 0.81 has been released.   
      
   http://users.socis.ca/~ataylo00/creative/fonts/workplace/index.html#wpsu   
      
   Changes in this release:   
   - Minor changes to several character shapes, in particular 'a', 'w', 'R'.   
   - Fractionally widened the number characters.   
   - A couple of additional characters added.   
   - Non-bitmap versions are now built with TypeTool version 3; to avoid the   
     previously-encountered difficulties with this version, TrueType font    
     metrics are now set manually instead of automatically calculated, and    
     the font width class is set to "normal" instead of "semi-condensed".   
   - Font is no longer auto-hinted on build: the hinting was observed to    
     cause rounded glyphs to appear too tall on some point sizes.  With    
     antialiasing the hinting is not really necessary, and without    
     antialiasing the bitmapped versions are recommended anyway.   
   - (Bold) Bitmap version now includes Cyrillic.
