I strongly disagree. Making fonts is really work for experts. And I am sure it takes longer to master a font editor like fontforge and to make a complete quality font than to learn some basic LaTeX and use the excellent work others did before. > Plus, I must repeat myself, even if I learned TeX, it does not do > anything for the other half of my goal -- to make available an open > source DTP + IPA font that ALL linguistics students can use. That's the sad thing. Everyone seems to think that learning to do things differently (or making others learn it) is impossible. I think ALL linguists and students could use LaTeX or any other free software they want. But sadly they don't want it. I don't believe in your "different" brain, I think it's a weak excuse. Robert
