Fonts

I have written metafont code for a number of fonts, the majority of which I have made available via the CTAN ftp server at ftp.tex.ac.uk

These are freeware: you may use them for whatever purpose you like, provided you don't claim to have written them. I would like, but do not insist, that you

Give me credit for having written them
Let me know (preferably by postcard to
Alan M Stanier

Colchester
Essex CO4 3EA
England) the uses to which you put them
Send me a complementary copy of works that use them
