Comments are welcome... I bet they are not.  ;-)

Installed it and had a play.
Sorry sport... What's futuristic about the Exo font? It's just a usual,
boring old bog standard type sans serif font.
A lot of the sub weights are really a waste of effort, too thin, too
weedy, why bother?

Find something new, unusual or exciting to convert and I'll give you a
round of applause.  :-)

PS: At larger sizes, as one would use in a title or similar, some of the
characters are not well formed.
