Hello Hazel,

Further to my last post:
In my last post I mentioned a randomly altered font and that I would try to
find a ref to it for you. The designers of Beowulf, a randomly varied
typeface are Just van Rossum and Erik van Blokland. An interview in WIRED,
issue 3.07, can be found at:
http://www.wired.com/wired/archive/3.07/letterror.html

Just van Rossum and Erik van Blokland have a font site where you can access
info re beowulf and other random fonts:

Cheers, Barrie
