Hi Leo!

Not sure about discussion, but it is better to combine fonts and keep just
binaries separate. Because if a user install unifont to use in their
applications, not all of them gonna use ttf. Some apps gonna look for otf
formats. It would be confusing to install three different outputs for get all
formats.

RG.
