Hi Solrick,

This sounds like some interesting stuff. I'd love to discuss it some
more with you and maybe work with you on it.

Some things to think about:

   1. Rules for Font interactions. What happens when fonts 'hit' each
other, or 'live' long enough to reproduce andmutate maybe?
   2. What parts of the fonts can change. height, width, scale,
kerning, serifs, color, transparency, etc
   3. Python may not be the best environment for this application.
Flash might be alot faster to get something going in as its designed
for animating vectors and has a solid programming language behind it
to write in your rules logic.

Best,
Josh
