From Open Font Library Wiki

Welcome ! This wiki is primarily for the Open Font Library Project community to document various long term visions, roadmaps on how to achieve those visions, and other meta-project writings.

It may also be useful as a central repository of Free Font Movement documentation, so if you have something that's not strictly related to the Open Font Library Project, but is related to Free Fonts, your contributions are welcome!

The biggest weakness from an FOSS point of view is there are few good high quality fonts - Peter "mrdocs" Linnel, Scribus Team, 2005

Other venues for discussing this project include our mailing list (Subscribe - please see Archives before) and on the IRC Channel.
