is there unique info in the font file that we can use? version number that is guaranteed unique? if so, we can pass that to the backend
That almost reminds me on version numbers in ConTeXt files (the number written in header that almost never changes). If font vendors are equally careful to change version numbers, that doesn't guarantee uniqueness.
indeed. but we don't sell ... if you sell you can employ prople to change numbers (the dates in the context files are more an indication of whe something showed up)
anyhow, i have been thinking of generating (with each beta) an automatically added key 'changedate' or so for changed files but i need to be really bored (or watching a one star movie on tv) to do that
Tonight at 20:30 on RTL7: Timecop II: The Berlin decision I think that qualifies ;) Seriously: yes this field would be quite useful to have added to the source automatically. Even better for me personally would be if you could generate an md5sum of the distributed file, so I can easily check whether I made local changes. Best wishes, Taco
