Subject: Re: 4.1084 Queries (4/55)
In response to Elli Mylonas' query about a Mac font that has Old English
characters, there is one available on the Ansax-L listserv. It is the
NY_OE font produced by Brian Whitaker, Atkinson College, York University.
The font is excellent and is freeware. You can obtain it from the
listserv at WVNVM as NY_OE SOFTMAC. I could also send your friend a
disk with the fonts on it (if he/she would send a blank diskette).

Subject: query response: Mac font
Regarding the request for an Old English font on the Mac, if it is just a
matter of using a simple bit-font (not Postscript), you can make your
own very easily using ResEdit. I did this once for Icelandic in about
15 minutes. It gets a little trickier if you want to make sure that all
sizes are scaled correctly with respect to each other or if you want a
Postscript font. For that you would need one of the commercial font
editors.

On ancient Greek medicine: there are lots of possible sources, but a
good local first contact would be Heinrich von Staden at Yale (Classics
Dept., I don't know if he has an email address) who knows as much as
anyone in the world about the subject.

Re. Elli Mylonas's request about people working on ancient medicine:
Try Dr. John Scarborough at the University of Wisconsin in Madison, Wisc.
He does both ancient medicine and classics. Office telephone is
(608)262-8195.
Hope that this helps. Peter Kuniholm

John Scarborough, author of Roman Medicine (1969), is at U. Wisconsin, I
believe. He should be a good source of info.
