I assume that the original poster wanted to typeset quotations from (eg) Chaucer or Piers Plowman, and so needs to have yogh, thorn, eth and so forth. If anyone does know of fonts that would fit the bill, I would also be interested in hearing about them (caveat: I don't have ftp access, so ftp sites are pretty useless to me personally.) if you forget about Metafonted fonts, and use a PostScript printer, then you will find yogh, thorn and eth in some Adobe typefaces, such as Times. it is always worth doing a search of PostScript fonts, as they often have characters which dont appear in the standard encoding sebastian -- Sebastian Rahtz S.Rahtz@uk.ac.soton.ecs (JANET) Computer Science S.Rahtz@ecs.soton.ac.uk (Bitnet) Southampton S09 5NH, UK S.Rahtz@sot-ecs.uucp (uucp)
