   I'm working on a(nother) re-jig of the font's design, which will   
   thicken the strokes considerably.  It'll also feature a new design   
   for the bold version - one which actually looks like a proper bold   
   version of the regular font, and not a totally new design like the   
   present one.  (For those who prefer it to look as much like WarpSans   
   as possible, I will of course continue to include bitmapped versions.)   
      
   No estimates yet on when it'll be ready... I still need to add   
   Cyrillic and Greek to the bold font, not to mention other tweaks here   
   and there.  HOPEFULLY within the next month or two, but don't hold me   
   to that.   
      
   Here's a little preview of what it looks like without bitmaps:

   I plan to continue maintaining something close to the current    
   thin-stroke design, but renamed to "Workplace Sans Light".
