<P>Adapted from information posted to sci.lang by Sean Redmond, Evan Antworth, Chris Brockett, Roy Cochrun, Harlan Messinger, Jörg Knappen, Alex Rudnicky, Enrico Scalas, and Mark Kantrowitz.
<P>If you know of other linguistics-oriented web pages or publicly available (and legal) fonts or other linguistic resources, please e-mail me or post to sci.lang, so they can be listed here.
<P><IMG Align=Left SRC="greenball.gif"> A number of Postscript Type 1 and TrueType <B>fonts</B> (including <B>IPA</B>, Greek, Cyrillic, Armenian, etc.) are available by ftp in the directory <A HREF="ftp://ftp.winsite.com/pub/pc/win3/fonts/truetype">ftp.winsite.com/pub/pc/win3/fonts/truetype</A>
<P>List (<CODE>ls</CODE>) the directory to see what's available. The files are zipped; a version of <CODE>unzip</CODE> is usually available on whatever host you use to ftp with.
<P>Note: TrueType files can be used under Windows or on the Macintosh. I'm not sure if the unzipped files can be inserted directly into the Mac's Fonts folder; I ran them through Fontographer first.
<P><IMG Align=Left SRC="greenball.gif"> The SIL <B>IPA fonts</B> (also in PostScript Type 1 and TrueType versions) are also available by ftp from:

<P>They are also available on diskette for $5.00 plus postage: $2.00 in U.S. or $5.00 outside the U.S. Order from:
