The three fonts were:
Sapir Sans
Sapir Sans Italic
Hilversum
sent in that order.
There is no readme file, and these are freeware. There is a notice in
the GetInfo Box, I think.
Here is the story of the fonts:
Sapir was designed as a stop gap, while waiting for better, professionally
designed fonts for linguiustics. But Sapir is different in that it combines
the International Phonetic Alphabet with symbols for syntax and phonology.
I had hoped Renner's phonetic fonts for Adobe would fill the gap, but they
don't work with the vast majority of software. So now I await Chuck Bigelow's
Lucida IPA font, which I will be beta testing this month. In other words, this
is freeware, but only intended as a temporary solution for linguists.
Hilversum is a freeware version of my chess font Tilburg, which will be
distributed by Chess Laboratories when it is finished. Still, I have used
Hilversum (under the Tilburg name) to produce camera ready copy for
published books (I have written over 50 books on chess). It is freeware,
but I hope that users will upgrade to Tilburg when it is ready.
Freeware fonts come with no warrantees, guarantees or support, but if
someone wants to contact me at schiller@sapir.uchicago.edu, I will
be happy to reply.
