Adobe is now a double-licensee of the Slug Library, having just licensed it for a second software product. Nothing says a customer is happy more than repeat business!

All the beautiful font rendering and exquisite typography in DOOM The Dark Ages came from the Slug Library. I'm excited that it's part of game!

Monolith was one of my Slug licensees, and I was saddened to hear about the studio's closure. Their engineering leadership graciously took the time to reach out to me today and thank me for my work, emphasizing that my product did its job well. These guys are a class act.

I get a lot of emails asking about one-person licenses for the Slug Library. Information about that is now available on the website at https://t.co/wS0gJL7Isa, and it's copied below. Feel free to contact me with additional questions or to get yourself set up!

We have a single-engineer license for a one-time cost of $1500 (USD). This license includes the full source code for the Slug Library and associated tools, it allows usage in an unlimited number of commercial products, and it includes all future updates at no additional cost as long as you’re solo.

I'd like to welcome Zeiss Planetariums as the newest company to license the Slug Library. It's always great to see Slug being used in scientific visualizations.

Implemented soft hyphen support in Slug today. Too much more of this kind of stuff, and I’ll have a full-blown word processor!
