Anyone who wants to see sources, contact me directly and specify what
example you need. This is from a book-length project, so I really ought
to make smaller examples.

No, I haven't done anything further, or even sampled most of the fonts
other than looking at single lines. I believe that correcting kerning,
etc, means getting into "fontinst," which I know nothing about. And
doesn't it require LaTeX? of which I am also ignorant.
I can imagine more logical TeX font tools, but (a) don't want to
reinvent the wheel, (b) don't have time anyway.
