In his review of TML Pascal II in the Winter issue (i.e., the final
one :-( ) of Call -A.P.P.L.E., Robert Hess wrote:

     "Using a font editor, I have created my own font that is quite
     similar to Shaston, but all characters are the same width."

I tried to build such a font but quickly decided that it would be a
lot of work since I could not figure out how to start with Shaston 8
(I assume that it is "built in" and that there is no such file).  If
I started with Shaston 16 and tried to make it smaller, the font
editor simply chopped off the top (or bottom) of the characters.  Has
anyone built such a font?  In lieu of that, does anyone know of an
EMAIL address for Robert Hess (he America Online address is
RobertHess, but I don't have an account there)?
