I've been busy, typesetting in Irish to pay the rent and trying to
find time to do the character encoding work which is needed for so
many scripts. It didn't occur to me that there was much of a market
for my Gothic and Linear B fonts in the short term.
I did provide Cherokee input Methods for OS X which is shipping the
very nice Plantagenet Cherokee font.
Perhaps I will do what I can to make some of the more exotic fonts
available sooner rather than later. There's Everson Mono, of course.
;-)
How much would you pay for a Linear B font, David? ;-)
