A few weeks ago, I asked for introductory readings (appropriate for
undergraduate non-majors) on register.  Many thanks to Susanna Shore,
Ellen L. Contini-Morava, and Douglas Oliver for your responses!  Others
indicated they would be interested in a summary, so here it is.

Hello, Linguists!
 
Thanks to all who replied to my query about phonetics fonts
for the Macintosh.  As it happened, we got the fonts via ftp
from sumex-aim.stanford.edu, tho apparently this is also
possible from
ftp.sil.org.
 
The fonts work well so far.
 
Again, thanks--you are a helpful, friendly network!
 
Susan Meredith Burt
