His colleagues at the University of Otago write Jae "died unexpectedly, but peacefully in his sleep".</div><div><br></div><div>What sad news, seemingly out of the blue. Jae had been on LT's Editorial Board since 2012, and we'll treasure his memory as a constructively-critical influence on the course of the journal and as an eminent typologist, overcoming difficult personal circumstances to publish so widely. Stay in touch: Re-read him. </div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div>Frans</div><div><br></div><div><div class="irc_mimg irc_hic iWlELAHyC3Lo-lvVgf-rIiHk"><a target="_blank" class="irc_mil i3597
