You might want to look into VarahCaps, a shareware font by the prolific David Rakowski (his "Read Me" files alone are worth a look :-). It should be available for anonymous FTP on um-mts.cc.umich.edu, directory pc2, file fo/varahcap (this is not a Unix site). (I got this information from the shareware font collection for the NeXT on sonata.cc.purdue.edu. I don't know how up to date it is, but many fonts in that collection were converted from Mac fonts from that site.) -- Gilles Detillieux <Gilles@scrc.UManitoba.CA> Spinal Cord Research Centre or <grdetil@ccu.UManitoba.CA> Dept. of Physiology, U. of Manitoba Phone: (204)788-6766 Winnipeg, MB R3E 0W3 (Canada) Fax: (204)786-0932
