I'm not very knowledgable about fonts and have a problem. I need to be
able to have the following diacritical marks in a long document, a slash
over an s (sort of like an accent ague on an s), dots under the letters
t, r, s, and n as well as lots of long signs on vowels, mostly the letter
a.  I'm using a Powerbook 100 and for the time being am just working with
a bitmapped font. When printing the final thing I hope to be printing it
on a HP Deskwriter and I really hope that I can find an attractive font
that can be tweaked into giving me these letters.

I know that there exists something called Font Monger ( I think) but am
not quite sure if this is what I need. Anyone have any suggestions? I'm
not really interested in getting into a big project of trying to create
new letters...all I want for post Xmas is some dots under my s, r, t, and n
as well as a slash and a long mark.  Is there any easy solution out there?

Thanks.

Steve
