AMEN!  I think this would be an excellent idea.  I'd actually like to see
fonts (USEFUL fonts, mind you) posted in comp.binaries.mac, especially
NFNTs.  What about some of the (other) public-domain fonts?  "Boston,"
for example.

By the way, I have a legible, non-proportional font that I designed for
programming (called, would you believe, "Program") ... 0's look different
from O's and you can tell the difference between "1," "I" and "l."  (Among
other things.)  I'd be happy to post it and a couple of my other creations
if there were enough interest.
