The site I was hosting it on unfortunately got blitzed and I lost my copies after my PC went kaput, so I'm a little bit overjoyed you managed to save it, thanks! As for copyright, I'm completely fine with you sharing it, and Raph's license is the Open Font License, which is essentially a GPL license for fonts. So as long as he continues to be credited for his work (it should be in the credits header in the font previewer), then it's fine. Again, thanks for rescuing it. It turned out better than I thought but it definitely needs more work! Hey, I just came across this while I was looking to see if anyone had saved a copy actually.
