And I'm sure he's not suggesting that a library just give out books,
either, is he?
I might be sympathetic if I could go to Everson Typography and buy
these fonts that you don't dare give away, or if you had licensed
them to Apple or Sun or Microsoft. But, as far as I can tell, you
have these fonts sitting on a backup disk in the basement. It wouldn't
hurt you at all to release them in some form, and it would help the
Cherokee (for instance) to actually use Unicode for their language.
