undergraduate non-majors) on register. Many thanks to Susanna Shore,
Ellen L. Contini-Morava, and Douglas Oliver for your responses! Others

Hello, Linguists!

Thanks to all who replied to my query about phonetics fonts
for the Macintosh. As it happened, we got the fonts via ftp
from sumex-aim.stanford.edu, tho apparently this is also
possible from
ftp.sil.org.

The fonts work well so far.

Again, thanks--you are a helpful, friendly network!
