Thanks for this - I shall try it at the first opportunity.
With regards to legality, I'm quite sure that I'm on solid ground with regards to redistributability. I'm the designer of the typeface.
(Geeky background information) Nearly twenty years ago, I got a copy of Fontographer 3.something in a bundle - I wanted a custom typeface for my App, so I suspect that when I finish my App it will possibly be the only modern OS X App which was partially created on an LCIII! I can't afford a new version of Fontographer, so getting my old Mac down from the loft was the easiest way of creating my typeface.
