P22 & Lanston
What is P22 going to do with Lanston?
What about those of us who have licensed type previously? Will we get discounts for upgrades?

>What is P22 going to do with Lanston?
---We will be re-releasing the Lanston Catalog starting on Jan. 1 2005. The initial selection will be an apparently random group of faces showing the range of what there is to offer. We will be adding glyphs, re-naming the fonts and going over the data for all fonts.
>What about those of us who have licensed type previously?
>Will we get discounts for upgrades?
---Fonts can still be ordered from the Lanston site as before in the Giampa web site. Any purchases from now until before the remastered version are released will get free upgrades. Anyone who licensed before the P22 acquisition will get a very reasonable upgrade offer.

Btw, my research on splines may well result in an improved IK to TT conversion. I only need about half as many "digs" (in IK speak) to make a smooth, round curve, which opens the door to a mostly-automated process for identifying digs that seem off-curve and tossing them.
Email me at firstname.lastname@gmail.com if you want to follow up on this privately.

The "Lanston" candle is passed to Richard Keglar. P22 was hand picked with a great deal of thought.
I expect nothing but the finest, neither should you!

Gerald, the boat looks wonderful. Well done! Where are you bound?

John,
Forgive me. I am in Vancouver at this very moment. I would love to see you.
Where am I bound? Warm sailing winds in the Caribbean. I would like to set up a "Floating Typgraphical Publishing Company."
Hopefully Richard will be involved in some degree. By the way I miss writing in the forum. I am not sure I fit in now I am on the out. But would love to participate.
How about lunch John?

I was 13 years old, my interest in women was carnal not intellectual. Forgive me.

John,
Not having seen you for years it would be a joy for me. Should I look for Hudson, or Tiro in the phone book? I will call Jim.

Dana,
We should meet also. I am not sure when. Maybe you could send me your phone number. I was in Victoria for a short while but was very busy getting re-organized.
Kenn,
Thank you, I have enjoyed the typophiles. You were always kind.

Gerald the Great,
Are you living on board now or are you staying with your family?
Where are you berthed in the lower mainland and are you receiving quests bearing gifts?

Because sailors are/were mostly male.
