Actually I am using some fonts that I helped to create and were planned to
be released with meltho fonts (yes I worked on that project several years
ago) but did not make it. Thery are east syriac fonts (2) and one Estrangelo
that my colleague and I developed many many years ago and were converted to
true type fonts. It is highly likely that they have some flaws, but they
work fine under windows. I am using Windows Vista 64-bit. I have been using
these on Windows XP before. We have full control over those fonts and we can
improve them if need be. I will send them to you in separate e-mail since I
don't want quite yet to distribute them publickly yet along w/ sample
documents that I am testing them with,

Regards,
Sargon
