A few weeks ago I made it known that I was seeking a MacIntosh font
which looked like Albertus, the font used in the TV series: The Prisoner.
I received many requests to pass along the information once I had it,
but regrettably no one seems to have bothered making a version for
the Mac.

The closest we can get apparently is: 1) a font made by Adobe called Galliard;
2) a font called Lydia or Lydian, publisher unknown.

I was unable to reach some of those people who E-mailed me, (particularly
the gentleman from the United Kingdom (I say, what are you doing mixing
around with us American chappies?)), and there seemed to be such an avid
interest in the question, that I thought I would post this general response.

And so I have.

Be seeing you. . .
