I have my eyes out for a MacIntosh font, if it exists, called
"Albertus".  This is the character font used in the television
series "The Prisoner", with Patrick MacGoohan.

Anyone out there ever seen it?

I believe Albertus is a Monotype font. I think I've seen it in their
sample books, but I can't remember for sure. As far as I know, it is
not available on the Mac yet. Look at Galliard (Adobe). It's not real
close, but it has the same chiseled look in some of the characters and
might do as a substitute until Albertus is issued.

Good luck.
