i am considering adding the status. the only hesitation is the large number of "shareware", "free"- and other "-wares", free for personal, not free for commercial; free personal, donationware for commercial and extra for other rich ppl. There are many ppl who get very creative with the copyright info.
i dont think i would want to reduce free for personal but not free for commercial, just to "commercial".

Andrew, you know I am a fan of your fonts, they do look really good & are very detailed. But you should optimize your fonts.
Some computers crash with just one intersecting contour in a font.
You can and should edit the points when making fonts.
your designs are good, you have a lot of style so I hope this doesn't sound like I am being rude, but it's not that difficult to trace a glyph into a font program that looks cool, but has 900+ points and intersecting contours...
Not only will validating your fonts make them smaller files, they will make your fonts look better too, by ensuring the points are in the exact positions they should be in.
Whenever possible remove redundant points, correct intersections. If you do this you will see that you could possibly remove entire contours from a glyph with incorrect direction, or that overlap, or that intersect. This will reduce the file size dramatically!
And though you may not have encountered this problem yet, believe me, these flaws in a font do crash computers and will, and a font that crashes a computer... well, it's not a good thing.
I didn't always fix these things either, but now I always make sure my fonts are free of errors.
I made it a point to thoroughly understand my software & all that it as well as the fonts I create with it, are capable of.
Anywho, your fonts are really good, but without optimizing them I am sure that some who wanted to use them were unable to.
