I hope Irene's on this list now!

Irene, if Sue's instructions work and you get what you want ... could
I ask you two to write up some cook-book like instructions that we can
then add to the website?  You know -- step 1, step 2 ... ;-)

If the procedures are different -- for whatever reason -- then it
would be good to have them specially written up for immediate use by
all those who want to add them to their font repertoire.

Of course, we would like all fonts to install the same way! But if
it's going to take time to make this happen, for now, we should take
the time to give potential users the right instructions -- right away
;-)
