To some extent, my interest in typography is related to my interest in foreign languages and writing systems. When I had access to a Mac running Fontographer, I designed a Cyrillic PostScript font somewhat similar to Helvetica. There are Mac and NeXT versions floating out there. Unfortunately, the font layout was completely nonstandard and peculiar, and relied to some extent on details of the Mac keyboard. Also, I no longer have the source, so I couldn't fix it even if I could get Fontographer installed on my machine. :-) (I have a copy of Fontographer for Windows, but Windows hangs when I try to install it. *Sigh*. I wish there were a version of Fontographer for Linux.)
