Czech fonts, etc.

[Loren A. Billings]

I have now sent the fonts in BinHex format to all that requested it.

I make no apologies for using the term "boffin"; actually, I met a
Canadian who described himself as such just this past weekend.  The
word does not appear to have any etymological meaning (as is the case with
_hysterical_ at the O.J. Simpson trial) or acquired interpretation that
would imply anything more than reverence for the service that these
people provide at help lines and walk-in rooms all over the world.

Incidentally, the author of the fonts, Jay Secora, was also employed as
such a resource person at Princeton a few years ago and is now at Boston
University (incidentally, his e-mail address there is js at bu.edu).

As for the Mac-versus-DOS/Windows/IBM issue, I might point out that there
would be no Windows if it hadn't been for the Macintosh's example.  I'll
also point out that I decided to mention Jay's fonts in response--if I'm
not mistaken--to a request for non-Mac fonts that can put a haCek over the
_r_ in _DvoRAk_.
