Either commercial or >| non-commercial sources would be appreciated. there are METAFONT sources for the APL character set available, designed by Aarno Hohti and Okko Kanerva of Helsinki University, Finland. according to the paper "The Many Faces of TeX", by Dominik Wujastyk, the METAFONT sources are available by anonymous ftp as file CMAPL10 from score.stanford.edu, in directory <TEX.TUGBOAT> [I think Dominik's paper will appear in a forthcoming copy of TUGboat, the journal of the TeX Users' Group, and describes the availability of many non-roman character sets for use with TeX]. other archives, such as the Aston archive on JANET and the various LISTSERVers at BITNET nodes, should also hold copies. Murray would then need to process the files with METAFONT, of which there is a PC implementation, to produce the .tfm and .gf files he wants. dave. -- David Osborne Cripps Computing Centre, University of Nottingham, Nottingham NG7 2RD, UK Phone: +44 602 484848 x2064 JANET: dao@uk.ac.nott.cs BITNET: dao%uk.ac.nott.cs@ukacrl.bitnet ARPA: dao%uk.ac.nott.cs@nss.cs.ucl.ac.uk or %ukacrl.bitnet@cunyvm.cuny.edu UUCP: {...!mcvax}!ukc!nott-cs!dao
