Hi,

                 I found the font on my old G3 Mac running System 9.

                I also found a cheesy circa 1999 utility for  
converting the font from the Mac suitcase format to Windows  
friendly .ttf.  The original font suitcase and two fonts converted for  
Windows have been uploaded to http://www.innerbrat.org/dissertation/cuneifonts.zip 
.  I still need to go through and replace stuff, but I think saves me  
from about 30-40 hours of retyping the transcriptions before I can cut  
and paste into an updated doc.

                 These are legacy 8-bit *transliteration* fonts.  I  
still do not know the original source of these CuneiformOr and  
CuneiformHelv fonts.

Bsslaama,
Andy
