    gavin has a point, it's a pretty tone deaf choice of copy.

    I don't have a problem with naming the font "Negro," but why would you push it over the edge with all that loaded language?

    • Because "negro" is not derogatory all over the world?Corvo2
    • OK, but the copy is written in English and America is by far the largest English speaking country...ukit
    • Ok. but "negro" is not English.Corvo2
    • Maybe not originally, but it's definitely an English word. In America, it's a racist slur for black people (kind of an antiquated term from the early 20th century but everyone knows it).ukit
