No problem, you can update the font at any time. Being in the library,
others are able to find it - and if necessary: edit and improve the font.

Just go ahead - and don't forget to post some sampels here and the fonts
to me :-)

A lot of fonts have been released in a very basic version and updated
later, either for changing characters or for adding others (like
umlauts) for example. Just have a look at some comments in the font
files (e.g. from the FIGlet editor in JavE).

There are others with long names (e.g. nancyj-underlined) and I have not
heard of any problems yet. No modern operating system has problems with
long filenames. So feel free to add the 'a'.
