Ok, I admit it.   I am a font fiend.   I copy fonts from whomever has
them and build up my collection.

Only just recently did it occur to  me that some of these might not
be public domain.  I didn't think of it in the same way as copying
software & things.  I'd like to make good and clean up my act.

HOWEVER, these things have been handed down so many "generations" that
I have no way of knowing which ones are public domain and which ones I
have illegally.  No way except with the help of you generous readers.
(translation: please help!)
Following is an unfortunately  long list of the fonts I have which I
have not been able to determine the legality of.  Sorry for the wasted
bandwidth, but I don't know how else to  figure this out.

Please E-mail me if you know for SURE if any of these are either public
domain or definitely Not public domain.  Thanks in advance!
