	Sure, I'm interested. Particularly in the font catalog, but in the
other ideas you mention as well. If this happens in the time my email address
is still valid (about another year as an alum), consider my $10 yours.

Of course, assuming that the catalog comes into existance before any
centralized distribution network, it would be surpassingly useful if
locations of the fonts were included.

Also, by "printed," it would be great if you meant printed in the typeface
being listed.

Thanks for your effort, assuming you have time to actually do this!
