A few years ago I created a Mac screen font for figurine notation that
includes all Informant symbols, and I would like to transform it into a
Postscript font. Unfortunately I haven't got Fontographer nor I want to
buy a program just to convert a single font.
The font right now is of little use because is mapped to an italian keyboard,
but I could prepare an 'international' edition if somebody volunteers to
convert it to Postscript.
