One more piece of information on computer resources for people
with visual impairments:
The Advisior column in _PC Magazine_ (July 1990, p. 27)
mentions IBM's National Support Center for
Persons with Disabilities (P.O. Box 2150, Atlanta, GA 30055,
USA; voice (800) 426-2133).
Apparently the Center distributes a publication entitled _Resource Guide
for People with Vision Impairments_ , which suggests, for instance, a
"text-magnification utility" called _ZoomText_, as well as _B-Pop_ (a
shareware program from Hexagon Products (P.O. Box 1295, Park Ridge, Il
60068 USA; voice (708) 692-3355). The Disabilities forum on CompuServe
is said to distribute Hexagon's products ("browse" Data Library 4 of the
forum sv. "bpop*.* and bedit*.*).

Another Macintosh IPA font is available from Linguist's Software. It is
called LaserIPA, and as the name suggests it is a Type 3 PostScript
font. You can reach the company at (206) 775-1130.
