Just for my own use, I am developing 9-pt and 11-pt sizes of all the LW+
fonts, including style variations. So far I have done Avant Garde, Bookman,
N Helvetica Narrow, New Century Schoolbook, Palatino, Symbol, Zapf Chancery,
and Zapf Dingbats. Yet to go are Courier, Helvetica, and Times. All these are
in NFNT families.

This takes a while, as it needs to be done by hand. There are 70 fonts in all,
and each one has ~200 characters. I expect to finish sometime in June; there
are 24 fonts to go. Also, this is a "spare time" project.

If people are interested in these, I am willing to share when I am done. Send
email if interested.
