Give thanks to Paul Haeberli (paul@manray.asd.sgi.com) and Seth
Teller of Silicon Graphics!  They may be the first ever to
create and release to the P.D. a reasonably useful font.
Although these two fonts both look like (and were automatically
generated by scanning) hand lettering, they are infinitely
better looking than Ghostscript's hated Uglyfont!  They were
posted in two articles in comp.lang.postscript about July 10.
I've adopted them for use with Ghostscript, and wonder if others
have had experience in other environments.
