Dear Friends and Colleagues,

As some of you already know, we are planning to distribute a CD-ROM to 
attendees at the font technology forum in Rome this September. I am writing 
to invite you to contribute demo software, shareware or freeware apps or 
utilities, scripts, technical notes, specifications and other 
documentation, etc. The intent is to provide forum attendees with tools and 
information to help them build better fonts, and to give font software 
developers an opportunity to present some of their products to font makers. 
Font production tools, testing and validation apps, table editors, 
command-line font utilities, sample fonts or source files (e.g. VOLT or FDK 
OpenType sources), etc. are all welcome.

I realise that many of you use the Internet as your primary distribution 
system for demo software, etc., so you may also like to provide an HTML 
file linking to your online products. I would encourage you, however, to 
also include material for distribution on the CD-ROM: many European 
attendees may not have high-speed Internet connections, and would be loathe 
to download large software packages.


Structure:
The organisation of the CD-ROM will be very simple: a directory of 
contributors, with sub-directories for different platforms. E.g.:

	/Adobe
		/Mac
		/PC

To facilitate the project, we're asking contributors to provide material in 
this directory structure. Within this structure, contributors can organise 
their material however they like. Please try to ensure that all software is 
accompanied by appropriate manuals, help files and other documentation, as 
available.


Licensing information:
Each contributor will be responsible for providing appropriate license 
information for end users. This should be provided in clearly labelled 
ReadMe files. Contributors are entirely responsible for the terms of end 
users licenses, and for enforcement of those licenses. The Association 
Typographique Internationale cannot accept any liability or responsibility 
for enforcing the terms of end user license agreements.


Copyright:
In order to be able to duplicate the CD-ROMs in Canada, I need a signed 
letter from each contributor granting permission to reproduce and 
distribute copyrighted material. The letter should list the material being 
contributed to the CD-ROM, and grant permission for the Association 
Typographique Internationale (ATypI) to reproduce and distribute up to 250 
units. Please send this letter by snail mail to:
	John Hudson
	ATypI Technology Committee
	205, 1235 Nelson Street
	Vancouver, BC  V6E 1J5
	Canada


Submission:
Contributions can be provided by e-mail, FTP, or on CD-ROM, Zip or floppy 
disk (use the above address for mailing). Contributions should be received 
before August 1st. If there is any reason (e.g. internal legal issues) why 
you might not be able to meet this deadline, please let me know and we will 
try to accomodate a later delivery.


At the forum:
Attendees will receive a brief presentation introducing the content of the 
CD-ROM. Some contents will also feature in forum sessions.


Finally, if you know of anyone else who might be interested in contributing 
to this CD-ROM, please feel free to forward this message to them, or 
provide me with contact information.

Regards to all, John

When the pages of books fall in fiery scraps
Onto smashed leaves and twisted metal,
The tree of good and evil is stripped bare.
