I thought the image was OK to use because it's from your website (fan

not, what licenses are permitted? Or is it preferable to just adapt an
image from within the book itself?
Sorry for the confusion. I realize it seems a bit picky, but Joe asked
us to distribute those images from our website, but we haven't gotten
explicit authorization from the rights holder (it's not entirely clear
who that is, actually) to distribute them under the PA License. We just
want to be very careful to not endanger the legality of electronic
editions we distribute by including materials that are questionable.
Thanks again for working on this!

Hi Jon, so I just pushed a few things to SVN.
Here is what I pushed (it's all in the commit message, but I'm adding it
here anyway):
- Freeway Warror #1 (Highway Holocaust) xml modification (minor) and
epup Makefile.
- CSS fixes for Freeway Warrior series (minor change)
- I noticed that the font being requested by the epub build was called
"Calibiri", and that the fonts were located in some special directory
that was *not* included in the SVN repo. Two problems with this: 1) the
font is named Calibri (two i's, not three) and 2) the build breaks on
local machines unless you have the fonts located in the correct path (in
other words, external dependency). Furthermore, since the font was
misnamed in the build scripts, the font never actually gets included in
the build, making any effort to resolve the font path moot.
So what I did was this:
1. changed the font path to an internal font path (trunk/common/font/)
2. bundled an open source clone of Calibri called Carlito into SVN (I
included the license, as well, so there is documentation that the font
is open source and free to bundle)
3. s/Calibiri/Carlito/ in all CSS files
It is my intent that nothing should be negatively affected by this
change, and in fact that future contributors won't have to think about
how to resolve font errors, because we are bundling the font with the build.
- A new Highway Holocaust cover art based on an illustration from within
the book. The design is just something I threw together; it's a little
different from the Lone Wolf style, but then again this is a different
universe entirely. If people hate it, I'm happy to base it on the Lone
Wolf template.
That's about it.
I didn't build every epub in the repo, but I did build a few other ones
to make sure my changes didn't clobber anything else.
I'll push Freeway Warrior #2-4 after the dust settles from this commit.
Cheers. Let me know if I've royally screwed anything up!
