The only constraint on the AccuFont license is that the source is
acknowledged. (It is embedded in an unused glyph.) John McIntosh
was instrumental in helping to arrange the availability of these fonts,
and Duane Maxwell allowed Rob Withers and I to convert the
fonts from a Windows2.0 format to a Squeak strike font with the
underscores changed to back arrows as a work task while we
were at Exobox.

The Squeak World Tour used these fonts so that we could build
an image without the Apple/Microsoft font issues of the current image.
There are no constraints on use of the fonts in products derived
from Squeak.
