How much sponsoring would you need? 

This is a good question. For me, text fonts are MUCH harder to create than music fonts. Most of the specimens I have have true small-caps and standard ligatures (ff, fi, fl, ffi, ffl). I'll try to get some sample images that I can post for community voting so I can prioritize my efforts.

For a single text font, I'd be willing to go with $100 per variant (roman, italic, bold, bold-italic) where I've got specimens available, but just know that this is very much a low-ball value for the design work, so anything more than that is very much appreciated.. If several people could each contribute around $25 (or at least pledge to do so upon completion), that would be enough to get me going on the roman variant.
