Great, thanks for all this pretty stuff, I shall tinker with it
tomorrow.

Just being curious, why did you choose "5" for the supplier (given
that the softmaker fonts are coming from URW I put a "u" in front of
them)?

BTW, my fonts are from a CD-ROM in Sean Cavanaugh's book Type Design.
According to the AFM files the copyright is by URW & SoftMaker, but
there is a comment "Generated using Fontographer 4.1 and SeanTools" --
I wonder what he has done to the fonts. Any comments regarding the
quality of this stuff are welcome.

Greetings and thanks,
joachim
