Ah, ok, I missed that. And now I understand why you submitted https://int10h.org/oldschool-pc-fonts/readme/#history originally. But are the differences with v2 enough to support a substantively different discussion? I would say probably not? This comes up whenever new versions of projects are released - see https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=23071428 for a longer explanation.

I'd be happy to make an exception if there's a case for the diff with v2.

The original submission-title was more descriptive (something like: "The Oldschool PC Font Pack v2.0 Released: 133 fonts added, new online index"), but I assume a moderator edited it to the current, more concise, one.

Feature-wise, the new version offers about 3 times as many "oldschool" fonts as the previous version, and also introduces the use of several techniques not typically used elsewhere to make the fonts more palettable for modern use (aspect correction, embedded bitmaps to bypass anti-aliasing). Also the online font index has more details regarding each font.

I would say that a very detailed online font index and fonts that are now much more palettable for modern use, may well be grounds for new discussions.

Alright, we'll remove the dupe penalty.
