Glad to see that all is settled on the emotional front here.
I found the original post quite interesting, and see something of a
corollary in it (that all letterforms could be meta-ized and described
algorithmically) with that of LyX (that all documents can be worked on
by displaying a visual representation of their underlying meaning and
structure). Unfortunately, just about every algorithmic font format /
system has vanished (elseware's infinifont, Ares FontChameleon &c.)
As opposed to using Windows-specific trial and demo-ware, I thought
that people might find Multivalent of more use / interest:
http://multivalent.sourceforge.net/Tools/
It can do most of what a typical user might want to do w/ a .pdf, and
runs on pretty much everything.
