I was trying to get at the Armenian fonts referred to above, but the
address given doesn't seem to work. When I try to use Fetch for anonymous
FTP to doc.cso.uiuc.edu, I get the message "Error: There is no host by that
name."

If anyone could tell me if and where these fonts have been moved, or point
me to another source  - anywhere - for shareware Armenian Mac fonts usable
under System 6.x and/or 7.x, be it bitmap. PostScript or TrueType, I would
be grateful.

Yes, I am well aware of the firms Ecological Linguistics and Linguist's
Software and what they have to offer. It looks like their stuff is good, if
you can afford it.  However, I'm making this request on behalf of a person
off INSOFT-L who has access to anonymous FTP, and who is on a somewhat
tight budget. Not that he isn't willing to pay for the font(s), but USD 100
or over is not exacly the price range he had in mind.

I assume that Jeff will compile any answers you may have and send them out
in his regular, excellent fashion. Keep up the good work!
