1  FONTLOG for Workplace Sans
This file provides detailed information on the Workplace Sans Font Software.
This information should be distributed along with the Workplace Sans fonts
and any derivative works.


2  Basic Font Information
Workplace Sans is a semi-condensed sans-serif font, inspired by the OS/2 bitmap
font "WarpSans". Intended primarily for use as a user interface font, it has 
been designed to resemble WarpSans as much as reasonably possible when 
displayed on-screen at comparable sizes.

10 January 2011 (Alex Taylor) - Workplace Sans 0.8

- Major reworking of many glyph shapes, especially Greek and Cyrillic.
- Redesigned and unified many of the diacritical marks.
- More tweaks to the glyph spacing.
- Many characters have been (at least temporarily) removed due to the
  ongoing design changes.  This includes most arrow, block, box-drawing
  and graphic characters, various math and symbol characters, several
  diacritics, much of the Latin-2 and Baltic section, and all of the
  Hebrew and Japanese characters.
