IIUC, you should do the following:

1) Make a sample at 1200 dpi and post it somewhere so that we can be
satisfied that it looks right at 1200 dpi.

2) Either send me a patch so that I can post it on rietveld, or post it
yourself on rietveld.

3) Wait for approval, probably by Han-Wen and Jan, since they are the core
designers of the font.
