The observant reader will immediately think, \"Hey isn't there already a cask for a font named [`crimson-text.rb`](https://github.com/caskroom/homebrew-fonts/blob/master/Casks/font-crimson-text.rb) in this repo?\"  Why yes there is... but that's for a distinctly different (but closely related) typeface from the one I would like to add.\r\n\r\nHuh?\r\n\r\nThe 30 second story here is that the creator of the \"Crimson Text\" typeface that I would like to add (and owner of the repo linked above, @skosch) is also the creator of the original \"Crimson Text\" font included in Google Fonts, which is the one currently pointed to by `crimson-text.rb`. [According to the creator](https://github.com/skosch/Crimson#naming-confusion), the font in Google Fonts is a very early version that Google repeatedly refused to update with the substantially redesigned newer typeface (which is intended to entirely supplant the \"clumsy-looking\" original). Essentially, the creator disavows the Google Fonts version, but seems powerless to replace/update it.\r\n\r\nSo, I'm asking for advice as to what to do here... I can:\r\n\r\n1.  Replace the existing `crimson-text.rb` with the updated font (which is still *officially* called \"Crimson Text\" although according the creator, that usage has mostly fallen off to avoid confusion with the Google Fonts version).  Or...\r\n2.  Create a new cask called `crimson.rb` for the updated font, and leave `crimson-text.rb` undisturbed (say, for historical reasons).  Or...\r\n3.  Create a new cask called `crimson.rb` for the updated font, and remove the `crimson-text.rb` cask to avoid confusion.  Or...\r\n4. ??? (something else I haven't considered) \r\n\r\n**1)** seems to comport most closely with my understanding of Crimson's creator's intent, but will lead to a visible change in the typeface for any users that upgrade the existing cask.\r\n**2)** provides casks for both fonts, named according to their current most commonly used names, but does create the potential for ongoing confusion.\r\n**3)** removes the potential for confusion, and seems the end state for 2) as well,  [once Google Code archives go away](https://github.com/caskroom/homebrew-fonts/issues/445), making the old version inaccessible (assuming nobody fixes it). \r\n\r\nOption **1)** would be my preference, assuming there are no objections; otherwise **2)** seems the least disruptive, although in that case, I'm not currently sure what would happen if someone installed both Casks on the same computer.
