User:Kvng asked me to include the WP:THREE best sources to establish notability of the subject.

SIL International recommends the UFO format for fonts released under SIL Open Font License. The page also lists projects of particular interest that use the UFO format. ^[1]
Roberto Arista writes about the history of the development of the UFO and its place in typeface production tools in the journal Progetto Grafico from the Italian design association AIAP. ^[2]
Nathan Willis remarks on UFO's noteworthiness in its connection to the popular open source font editor FontForge on the Linux-focused webzine, LWN.net. ^[3]

Thank you User:Colinmford. This is a very helpful response. I will accept the draft. There is still a chance that another editor will remain unconvinced of the subject's notability and will try to delete the article. Hopefully it won't come to that. It's all part of the fun around here, I'm afraid. ~Kvng (talk) 04:30, 22 February 2022 (UTC)Reply

Thanks, User:Kvng! I hope it doesn't come to that either. Do you have any additional advice on how to prevent that from happening? Thanks so much again! Colinmford (talk) 15:55, 22 February 2022 (UTC)Reply

@Colinmford, in this case, it should be all about WP:42. ~Kvng (talk) 16:58, 22 February 2022 (UTC)Reply

@Kvng, thanks again! I will strive towards that. Colinmford (talk) 17:48, 22 February 2022 (UTC)Reply
