Does fontforge have its own format that contains a "source-like"
description of the fonts? (i have no idea how it works, all my font
work was with Metafont)  Maybe we could distribute that?

I'd say that it's important to distribute the fonts in a format that
is most accessible for modification, but if all we have is binary
files, then we have to live with that.
