 If yes, should ALL SSi fonts be removed?
Version number belongs in a "Version" field in the naming table within the font file. The name of the font should stay constant.
You don't see "Arial_1", "Arial_5", "Arial_99812"... there is only "Arial" but the version may differ. If you get a newer version you simply replace the existing one with the latest so there is no confusion when you are in word. There is only one Arial.
Your naming convention could be useful to you while working on a font so you can have them both installed at the same time for comparison. However, when you release a version that you are happy with it should be the constant name such as "Laurier".
kk, swallow, ivan, lauren, and everyone else please let me know if i am not making sense and steering Peter in the wrong direction...
So i guess you didnt like the idea of having a constant name as "Laurier" or "Kinryu" and only update the version fields to say "Version 14" or something.
So if i approve this font, should i remove all other ones since they are a subset of the latest one?
And if someone linked to Laurier for example, it will be a broken link now. Not ideal...
just be careful not to use a commercial font then because anyone who would look at the source code would be able to download it for free from your site and that may get you in serious trouble
Why not keep it as "Laurier" and simply upload the new version to replace the previous if the only difference is a more complete character set?
This way Laurier is a richer font without various trails left to remind of the outdated N8, when the latest is N15.
