Give Fontastic Plus a try before you say you lack the proficiency, sir!  I
got a copy soon after I bought my II & had a very pretty Cyrillic sans serif
(which was *much* nicer to look at than the misnamed 'Russian' that comes
with the program) run up inside an hour & a half.  I had glanced at the
first 6 or 7 pages of the manual.  It didn't take me a whole lot longer to
gen up a reasonable copy of Dr Tolkien's script which he attributes to the
elf Feanor;  the hardest part was starting over & over 'til I got all the
way up to 18 point.  By this time, though, I *had* read the rest of the
manual!           ;-}

It's easier than you (ostensibly) think -- Randy          futor@lll-lcc.arpa
