\i0  is a Postscript font for the Laserwriter and compatibles (i.e. Linotronics) that was made using Fontographer and Fontastic by Altsys.  The font is a slightly antique looking book face best shown in 9 or 10 points but perfectly suitable for larger display uses.  The face is based on Caxton - a font named after William Caxton, the printer/publisher who first published Chaucer's works.\

\i0  is not yet fully implemented.  It is missing all of the accented uppercase letters (though the lowercase accented characters are completed) and many of the special characters are missing.  I had lost the creative will to complete them by the time I finished fussing with the main alphabet.  I intend to do them sometime soon and will be happy to provide you with the completed font if you will leave me a message.\

The font is free for your personal use and you are welcome to give the files to friends or post them on other bulletin boards and services.  The files include the downloadable font and the metrics file, which need to reside within you system folder, and the bit-mapped screen fonts in the sizes I use most (9,10,12,28 and 36).  If you have comments or suggestions please leave a message for me on GEnie.\
