Dear Mr. Mansour,
I have seen your contributions to the 10646 group and want to ask a more
personal question.
I currently teach in a dept of humanities computing in a Dutch university. I
have been working on character sets and SGML related things for the last 10
years.
However, I am originally a medievalist, working in Early Slavic, Greek, Hebrew,
Coptic, etc. I printed a number of text editions using the lasercomp and the
Monotype fonts at Oxford University Computing Services while it was operational.
When it was closed down, a contract was set up between Monotype and CHEST for
academic purchase of Monotype fonts. However, this contract excludes non-British
academics, even when they are on sabbatical in a British university.
On a number of occasions I have spoken with representatives from Monotype in
Britain and in Paris, but have not been able to even get a price quotation for
single licenses of a limited number of these ponstscript fonts.
In the future I do want to publish a number of works in this field and would like
to be able to use Monotype fonts to do this. Could you recommend how I can arrange
to purchase these fonts for single license use?
Thank you very much.
