"Originally published in 1978 and updated in 1988, The C Programming Language is considered a 'must-read' classic by most programmers and is generally known simply as 'K&R'. To mark the publication of an ebook version of the 1988 second edition, we interviewed coauthor Brian Kernighan about the C programming language, the book, and future trends." And an Oxford comma to boot. The way it should be.

It's immensely satisfying when it finally works, so go for it.
Admittedly, that's true for any project where you can validate your code against existing real-world implementations - there's a moment of joy the first time you actually manage to parse an image/the ELF headers/what have you - and the first time you make a font file that appears with the right names in all OSes.
Tip: Microsoft's font validator made things easier. ( http://www.microsoft.com/typography/fontvalidator.mspx ). I still haven't found anything that will validate the CFF block, though - and that's the messiest part.
