Thanks, Thomas! Many Donaldists in many
countries will be very happy now!

And I hope that they will do that!

By the way let me tell you all that I didn't
know that the old version of that font wasn't
a project decided by D.O.N.A.L.D. themselves
but rather an old one man's work. If I had
known that I would have been more carfully
with my shoice of words in my first message
about this topic - I am sorry, and hope that
nobody was upset about it.

And as we Norwegians use to say:
With a happy ending, everything is OK!

Sigvald :-)
