Thanks for the info.  I really appreciate it.  Don't worry about the
outburst.  I've been under a bit of strain lately myself and am prone
to do the same.

Once again, thanks for the number (I really needed that).

As per your question, I believe Sun has some fonts that are available
for free.  I'm not sure so don't hold me to it.  They have a nice one
that we have under NeWS that is a full Japanese font.  It's great.
Full character set and more.

If you find anything out about free fonts, let me know.  Thanks.
