Great.

This font collection is wonderful. I think the spin should include as 
many fonts as possible.
Do not look at their unicode coverage, the  bulk of the fonts fill not 
be used for GUIs or documents, but for titles, banners and so.

I think here the most important thing is the inclusion criteria. IMO you 
should *not* select the best looking clipart images but instead the most 
useful, the purpose of clipart is not to look good by itself but to be 
an useful building block.

Note that Gimp 2.4 can use Adobe Photoshop V2 brushes (.abr) so 
conversion may not be needed.
