Links2Go "Fonts by Languages" Award (fwd)

[Koontz John E]

For what it's worth ... I'm not sure what this says about the users of or
referrers to of fonts.  The references at the indicated page for other
fonts may be of use.  And the site may be of use.

Subject: Links2Go "Fonts by Languages" Award

The page titled "Siouan Fonts", at
<http://spot.colorado.edu/~koontz/fonts/ssfonts.htm>, was selected
as a Links2Go "Key Resource" in the Fonts by Languages topic,
at <http://www.links2go.com/topic/Fonts_by_Languages>.

o How your page was selected

Each quarter, Links2Go samples millions of web pages to determine
which pages are most heavily cited by web pages authors, such
as yourself. The most popular pages are downloaded and automatically
categorized by topic. At most 50 of the pages related to a topic
are selected as "Key Resources." Out of 28 pages selected as Key
Resources for the Fonts by Languages topic, your page ranked 14th.
For topics like Music, where there are a large number of interested
authors and related pages, it is harder to achieve selection as
a Key Resource than for a special-interest topic, such as Quantum
Physics.

The Links2Go Key Resource award differs from other awards in two
important ways. First, it is objective. Most awards rely on hand
selection by one or more "experts," many of whom have only looked
at tens or hundreds of thousands of pages in bestowing their awards.
Selection for these awards means no more than that one person,
somewhere, noticed your page and liked it enough to select it.
The Key Resource award, on the other hand, is based on an analysis
of millions of web pages. Any group or organization who conducts
a similar analysis will arrive at similar conclusions. When Links2Go
says your page is a Key Resource, we mean that your page is one
of the most relevant pages related to a particular topic on the
web today, using an objective statistical measure applied to an
extremely large data set.

...

Once again, congratulations on your award!
