-After the GNOME project adopted the typeface in November 2010, minor
-modifications and slight expansions were made to it over the years. Pooja
-Saxena initially worked on the typeface as a participant of the GNOME outreach
-program and later developed her own Devanagari typeface Cambay, which included
-a redesigned latin version of Cantarell. It was backported to the GNOME branch
-of Cantarell by Nikolaus Waxweiler, who also performed other janitorial tasks

-The overall quality of the design was however far from good, given that the
-regular and bold face were worked on seperately and without consistency and had
-low quality outlines, and the oblique variants were simply slanted uprights
-without much correction. The GNOME design team also requested lighter weights.
-Up to this point, the work on Cantarell was mainly done with libre tools such

+Developer information
+---------------------
 
-## Developer information
-                                  
 The master file is `src/Cantarell.glyphs`. To contribute, you need to either:
-1) Use the proprietary and Mac-only Glyphs.app.
-2) Generate UFOs from it by using `fontmake -g src/Cantarell.glyphs -o ufo`.
-You can then open the masters in `master_ufo` with any design app that supports
-it. Send the contribution to Nikolaus Waxweiler somehow so he can consider it
-using 1).
