[comp.sys.mac] fixed-width fonts

When I distributed UW v2.10 I included a 7-point Monaco font.  Although
I had put a lot of work into its appearance, it was originally derived
from the Apple Monaco font.  I was later persuaded to withhold this
font from the UW v3.4 distribution because of its questionable
copyright status.

Since then, I have created my own fixed-width fonts, named Mishawaka.
These fonts are public domain.  UW users may want to install the 7-point
font in their system files as Monaco 7; UW's 7-point output looks much
better when it doesn't have to scale down the 9-point font.  I've sent
these fonts to Roger Long for distribution through "mod.mac.binaries".

I'm working on a couple of other sizes (a 6-point font that looks a
lot like "Tiny" and a 12-point font).
