Just a general note to those looking for outlandish fonts and word
processors; the requests should probably be cross-posted to
comp.fonts, comp.text, and sci.lang (which seems to be omitted a lot),
experts in each group may know of tools useful to requesters in the
other two groups, yet not read them regularly to answer questions.  I
don't know whether the below article will help answer the above
request, but I found it in sci.lang, and am including it in response
to the above request from comp.fonts.
