Re: VMs: Thoughts about Roman numbers in the VMS

["GC" <gc-@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

If you're looking for a public domain font that represents VMS glyphs and
does not make use of the Proprietary EVA Font or transcription Alphabet, you
will
find it here:

http://voynichinfo.com/vgbt/xcrptn/vgbt.ttf

This font is not based on EVA strokes or other Proprietary information, but
primarily on outlines of bitmaps of VMS glyphs.  If you have the software to
modify the font, you also have the software to modify the name and the
internal identification, and I ask that you do so to avoid conflicts on
systems that may have both fonts loaded at
once.  Otherwise, get down, get funky!

p.s.  Some browsers require temporary modification of their security
settings to allow the downloading of .ttf files.
