Sounds great.  You can send the fonts to me when you're done with that.

While you're at it, it seems silly to me that Accuny09 and Accuny10 
both have the same "size" (total line height) of 12, even though the 
character heights are different.  (I'm probably not using the right 
terminology here.)  Accuny10 seems to have the correct height, it's the 
same as the old NewYork version.  Would it be hard to change Accuny09 
to have a height/size of 11?  If it is, don't worry about it.

(Adding further to the confusion is the fact that the size naming 
convention changed going from NewYork to Accuny.  In other words the 
old NewYork12 is identical to Accuny10.  I guess this was the right 
thing to do as "point size" is normally based on the distance from the 
lowest descender to the highest ascender, which in this case is 10.)
