"However, don't you think "in the next couple of years" is a little slow, and a little late?" Yep – I sure do. But the reality (for us at least) is that a lot of other projects had to get done first with the resources at hand. Adding the foreign characters was a bit more than a cut-and-paste job since the various accents had to be designed to conform the original design. Lots of work to do it right. All of our new fonts – and there are lots of them – do have a complete international character set, although the computer-specific characters are still omitted. Just not a lot of real need for them. Thanks for the kind words about FontBank typefaces! The sidegrade with the foreign characters will be very inexpensive: somewhere between $15 and $25, depending on production cost. Be forewarned, though, they will eat up considerably more of your hard disk space. Jerry
