just... be sure you're at least aware of the scunthorpe problem that this font is named after. do not implement an obscenity filter without being aware of the inconveniences they pose.
my name is woody (like the tom hanks cowboy, but also, i've been told, like the outdated euphemism for an erection) and i've been scunthorped out of creating accounts on dozens of sites because of my name. it's aggravating at the best of times, but doubly so when i want to be actually recognizable on the service in question.
