Delete branch "%!s()"
Deleting a branch is permanent. Although the deleted branch may continue to exist for a short time before it actually gets removed, it CANNOT be undone in most cases. Continue?
Hello — thank you for these fonts. I'm building a NetHack port and would like to use the VT220 glyphs for the retro character set, with attribution. Your packaging files declare MIT, but I couldn't see the LICENSE file at the repo root. Would you be willing to add the standard MIT text as LICENSE? That would make the grant unambiguous for downstream use. Thank you!

Hello! Sorry for the late response. I have just made the MIT license explicit.
As an aside, just so that you are aware tho, HP owns the copyright for the original DEC assets. From what I understand, the typeface as generated here is not included in that copyright under "typeface as typeface", but I am not a lawyer, and I would double check if I was going to use this in a for-profit scenario.
Good luck with your port!

Taylor, you are wonderful! Thank you for coming back to me.
I'm learning the porting process, taking NetHack to Apple and Android app stores (as Dirk, Glenn and others have done before me). Being NetHack, it's free, so a not-for-profit scenario.
Thank you for making the MIT license explicit. I'll look for the License file if that's what's in your repo now.
Good point on the DEC assets. It is a complete mystery to me where IP starts and ends with fonts so before I ship, I might need legal advice on it.
I love y our work. Thanks again for coming back to me.
Jo
