adding a config option for fall-back font in case someone running windows wants to use it in the future.
maybe will have new version running on holoneon grid by monday, will have to see.

Lieber Tomi,

ich hoffe, es geht Dir gut auf Deiner Reise.

Du warst einer der geradlinigsten und aufrichtigsten Menschen, denen ich je begegnet bin. Leider konnte ich nicht oft an Deinen Events teilnehmen, weil es erneut Missverständnisse über meine Absichten gab.

Das Logo habe ich sehr gerne für Dich gestaltet.

Danke für Deine Freundschaft und für die gemeinsamen Begegnungen. Ich bin mir sicher, dass Du im Himmel bist – denn wenn jemand es verdient hat, dort zu sein, dann Du.

In herzlicher Erinnerung und mit lieben Grüßen von Aphra

---------------------------------------------------------------------

Dear Tomi,

I hope you are doing well on your journey.

You were one of the most straightforward and genuine people I have ever met. Unfortunately, I wasn’t able to attend your events very often because there were once again misconceptions about my intentions.

I was very happy to create the logo for you.

Thank you for your friendship and for the moments we were able to share. I am sure you are in heaven, because if anyone deserves to be there, it is you.

Remembering you with heartfelt affection and sending you warm regards,

Aphra
