Subject: EUROPEAN ACCENTED LETTERS IN POSTSCRIPT
I am putting the finishing touches over Christmas to a PostScript font
called EuroTimes which contains almost all the European accented and
variant letters from the ISO SGML Added Latin 2 specification. Together
with regular PostScript Times it provides almost all the variant latin
letters needed for European "latin alphabet" languages, including West,
East and minority languages. I intend to make the font generally
available over networks such as this; and would appreciate some testers
to make the font even better.
I can easily send testers the PostScript version since that's ASCII. How
can I send a Mac screen font over this net? Any suggestions welcome.
Almost all = I haven't done eng and capital eng. Testers' work = I
would appreciate advice on positioning of some diacritics, especially
ogon(y)eks, carons on some letters, and minutiae of cross-stroke
positioning.
The font will print nicely on a LaserWriter at 300 dpi since it is
completely built up out of Times characters using the Fontographer
"composite font" mechanism.

July 21st to 25th 1990
The Friends of Coleridge in Somerset
Conference Director: David S. Miall
The second Coleridge conference will be held at Cannington near
Nether Stowey in Somerset, UK, just four miles from the cottage in which
Coleridge lived during 1797-98 and where he wrote most of his
greatest poetry. In addition to conference papers by major scholars
and seminar discussions, the conference will include a day tour of
Coleridge's birthplace, Ottery St Mary in Devon, guided by Lord
William Coleridge. Opportunities will also be provided to visit
Coleridge Cottage at Nether Stowey.

the file-server, s.v. COLERDGE CONFRNCE. A copy may be obtained
by issuing the command -- GET filename filetype HUMANIST -- either
interactively or as a batch-job, addressed to ListServ@UToronto and
*not* to Humanist. Thus on a VM/CMS system, you say interactively:
TELL LISTSERV AT UTORONTO GET filename filetype HUMANIST; to submit
a batch-job, send mail to ListServ@UToronto with the GET command as
the first and only line. For more details see your "Guide to Humanist".
Problems should be reported to David Sitman, A79@TAUNIVM, after you
have consulted the Guide and tried all appropriate alternatives.]

[I suggest the same for members of Humanist particularly concerned
about viruses. --W.M.]
It has been suggested to me that PACS-L users should subscribe to two
lists that deal with computer viruses instead of discussing this topic
on PACS-L. These lists are VALERT-L@LEHIIBM1 and VIRUS-L@LEHIIBM1.
To subscribe, send one of the following messages to LISTSERV@LEHIIBM1:
SUBSCRIBE VALERT-L Your Name
SUBSCRIBE VIRUS-L Your Name

Apple Library received the new version of disinfectant from Northwestern
University only two days ago. Today I ran a check on my internal hard
drive as well as a removable hard disk. Both of the desktop files were
infected with the WDEF virus.
Disinfectant fixed both of them. Kudos to John Norstad and his team
(who used the Internet to do this collaborative software project)
and to Ed Valauskas for raising this issue).
