Subject: fonts question for humanist

Forgive me if this is a FAQ but I am a newcomer to Humanist.

I am working on a hypermedia project and require the
following fonts for Windows 3.0

Old English
Old Icelandic/Runic
The phonetics character set

Ideally these must be copyright free or have a low licence fee.

Any ideas folks?

Subject: WordCruncher address and modern literature e-texts

A staff researcher at the OU is after WordCruncher to do some analysis on
modern texts and I'm trying to find a phone number (or e-mail address) for the
WordCruncher vendor (I tried the number listed in the Humanities Year Book 89/90
and got an apologetic answering message saying I'd mis-dialled or the number
was wrong!).

I'm also looking for e-text versions of modern books (1900-1992) other than the
usual sources(: Oxford, Georgetown, Gutenberg) - if anyone has any ideas could
they please let me know.

Thanks in anticipation,

Subject: Korean for WordPerfect 5.1

I confess that I haven't been paying close attention.
One of my students asked today whether I knew of any
DOS products to produce (or permit preparation of)
Korean in WordPerfect 5.1. Was this covered in the
recent discussions? Repetition of the answer (privately,
unless it hasn't been publicly noted) would be appreciated!

Subject: Mac arabic

One of my students needs an Arabic font for the Macintosh for an important
project and he is even desperate enough to pay $100 for a commercial font he
found. Does anyone out there have a public domain Arabic font they could send
me over the network? Yes, I know you can create your own with ResEdit, but
this is beyond the expertise of the student. By the way, does Apple have an
Arabic system that handles right to left typing automatically?
