Greetings,

Over the last couple of lunch breaks, I've established an experimental gopher
with the following feature: you can retreive small GIF image samples of most
of the internet-available PostScript and MetaFont fonts.  I had the images
lying around (more or less) so I thought I'd set this thing up and see what
people think.

The gopher is at ibis.cs.umass.edu, port 70.

This is a very experimental thing so it may or may not be up at any given time
(though it's _usually_ up right now).  If it becomes too resource consumptive,
it'll have to go.  But I am hoping for some feedback so please try it and let
me know what you think (if you're interested in fonts at all).

If anyone who maintains a more permanent gopher would like to put this service
up locally, let me know and I'll arrange to get the images and directories to
you.

                                                  Enjoy,
                                                    norm
