sorry to bother the list but i'm getting 451 errors from sneakemail.com:

                                         XXX@sneakemail.com

anyway, a couple of people have asked so maybe 
it's not a complete waste of bandwidth.

i used ttftosubf (http://pages.cpsc.ucalgary.ca/~mirtchov/p9/freetype/) to
convert code2000 (http://home.att.net/~jameskass/CODE2000.ZIP). however,
since it's shareware, i'll email anybody a copy of my $PLAN9/font/code2000
but please be able to accept a 20M email if you ask ☺.
