Nuno, if you look at the prices there, independent foundries are asking $7,500
for a full font family, licensed freely, with everything we need. Also, those
funds would be provided by users like me, not by KDE e.v. It's not 200,000 €
and it may represent no financial burden for KDE e.v. either.

Also, I would like to thank you for the work you agreed to do in Oxygen freely
as in price. We, KDE users, are grateful for that. However, KDE needs funding.
Sebastian Trueg needs funding to do his Nepomuk work, and the sustainability of
KDE depends on its capability to get funding. GNOME has it. Ubuntu has funding
too. Why can't KDE have some paid developers to do KDE work? And that includes
you too, Nuno (design is important in a software stack, after all ;))
