In the past the Perforce repository was mirrored to a cvsup
server which was publicly accessible, but that service
seems to be unavailable currently (someone wrote there are
hardware problems, but I don't know the details).

Anyway, I'll make a tarball and put it on a webserver for
public download.  I hope to get around to doing it on the
weekend.  I also intend to write some documentation; that's
probably the biggest missing item right now.  So far I've
only documented the font format [1].

Best regards
Oliver
