;Brief explanation: Typeface design is a cornerstone of literate cultures, with subliminal power: Typefaces carry the emotions of texts, from formal designs that speak with authority to fun designs that are silly or military or ornate. They are both artistic and functional works, and our ability to share and modify them is important for the same reasons as for software programs. A Sugar font editor activity will empower users to create and modify fonts for their own tastes and needs. Fonts are fun to make, but we need an editor to do it.
