Incomplete detail of source material used for reconstructing the typeface

Open Zoetrophy opened this issue 10 months ago • 2 comments

I think it would be useful to detail a complete list of source material used to reconstruct the typeface in order to aid in ongoing preservation efforts. Links to resources on an easily accessible repository like Archive.org could potentially be helpful as well.

I don't know what sources they used. Some are mentioned in the readme, but they're only referenced vaguely, or they exist in multiple places in various levels of quality. Just the one that I linked took a while to find, and I'm not sure if it in particular was used for this project.
