That Czech font I offered to pass along

I received quite a few requests for copies of the TimesCzech font, so
won't be able to afford sending disks to everyone.  What I will do is
BinHex it and send it to the e-mail addresses of those who have written me.
Anyone else interested please drop me a line.  I'm tempted to put it on the
_JSL_ server at Pitt.  In any event, I won't get to it for a week and a
half or so becuase of a couple other matters.  Then I'll go to my computer
boffins and figure out how to do it.  If you don't know how to un-BinHex
the fonts you receive, then go see your respective boffins.  In any event,
this font, and CyrillicGothic (also by Jay Sekora, and free) comes in two
parts, it works with any Mac version 7 or later (from my experience).
Simply drag both icons of each font to the System Folder icon on the
startup disk of the Mac, whereupon the computer will ask your permission
to place the two parts in the right places.  Hit OK.

About CyrillicGothic, it does all those OCS letters as well.  About all it
DOESN'T do is those superscript abbreviations (found in text monuments).

Incidentally, TimesCzech also does other non-Cyrillic Slavic symbols such
as Polish hard _L_, Croatian _c_ with an accute accent over it, etc.  It
does take several key strokes to do the Polish nasal vowels, however.

In any event, anyone else interested please mail me and just put "Font
request" in the subject line; nothing in the body of the message.

Best,  --Loren Billings (billings at princeton.edu)
