I'm very surprised that George Williams' `fontforge' editor isn't mentioned in the `Font Development Tools' section [Riggs]. Other tools like Just van Rossum's `TTX' or even Microsoft's `VOLT' are missing too. Adobe's Font Development Kit should also be in this list, and probably a few other important tools also. Werner Lemberg Intrigued by the article by Tamye Riggs, I followed the link to "Microsoft Typography Foundry List" http://www.microsoft.com/typography/links/links.aspx?type=foundries&part=1 from which I did a search for one of Microsoft's most popular faces, "Verdana". Their search engine returned "Channel Verdana" http://www.microsoft.com/typography/web/fonts/verdana/default.htm as the first hit, from which I followed the link inviting me to "download the Verdana family" href="http://www.microsoft.com/typography/fontpack/default.htm. At which point, Microsoft kindly told me"We're sorry, but there is no Microsoft.com Web page that matches your entry." Wonderful. When will Microsoft get their internal links in order? :-((((( (Yes, I know about the copyright issues : a shame Microsoft didn't, when they first offered Verdana/Tahoma/Trebuchet MS/Georgia for free download ...). Philip Taylor [Whole issue] Thanks, issue is beautiful, interesting and helpful. One nit, why don't my links work?Very good job, [Editor and web site maintainer David Walden has made two "whole issue" PDF versions available, one with links and one without. -Ed.] Excellent!Hong Feng Mark Stephenson [Did we say May 1?
