That would be great, although I guess "draw freely" is sort of a play on words in english that may not translate too well to other languages..?
BTW, I was thinking of using the usual "draw freely" style (e.g. as seen in the 0.46 about splash) but I didn't do it because I wasn't sure where it came from. Apparently it would be OK to use it, but how to translate it? I don't have the font...
