Prompt 02: CUTE - packets

CUTE insists on sharing packages that include documentation, source files, etc., rather than single font files. Their argument is, that in this way also typographic knowledge and post-binary practice are being shared.

→ Could it be helpful to ask reluctant authors to share some histories and contexts in which the object has been created?

Share complete packages
A font is a piece of software made up of vector drawing elements, as well as lines of code describing its behaviour and documentation providing an understanding of the context in which it was created. [lexicon: package] For the purposes of sharing and passing on knowledge, these are all ingredients that should travel with the font file. In this sense, for each copy, sharing or redistribution, it is important to take good care of the whole.
