All year long, I've been using free software to do my work in the MATD program.

While there have been a few people (fellow / former students) who asked about FontForge, by and large they're more than happy with their current option (Glyphs App), although they expressed some curiosity about things FontForge can do.

In contrast, I have gotten a lot more questions about Scribus and how to try it out, followed by LibreOffice.

Not sure what to conclude from that.
