Just a quick note to ping about upstream hosting for Cantarell now that
the font has also been pushed to its own repo on git.gnome.org:
http://git.gnome.org/browse/cantarell-fonts/

The font files themselves seem to be the same version than in the Google
font directory repo and in the upstream http://abattis.org/cantarell.
But there are discrepancies between chosen licensing and the
corresponding notices or metadata across the various font sources. Some
synchronisation would be very helpful for end-users, fellow designers
and maintainers.

IMHO this should be sorted quickly for such a prominent font project.
Following some of the general open font best practises is probably
useful for long-term maintainership as well (FONTLOG.txt, sources/,
line-endings, buildpath, etc).


Cheers,
