Howdy Netlanders,

	I need to find a font which contains a couple of Old English characters
which have dropped out
of contemporary usage (but remain in Icelandic). In short, does anyone
know of a font that I could add to 
Framemaker with out too much trouble which contains tghe following
special characters:

	1. the ash ( it's the funky ae dipthong),
	2. the thorn (it looks like a 'p' with an ascender like a 'd') and
	3. the eth (it looks like an 'd' with a cross piece through the ascender).

Any and all information will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance,
Adrian
