Yes this email address still works.
How are you guys doing? I'm still consulting through my company Align, about
to hire on some people to more effectively work on large B2B web sites. I
focus
on server-side Java these days, although I just finished up a font
server-related
project for Sun's SunPCi product.
Tom, I haven't done anything remotely *font* in many years, particularly
related
to the ISO font standard. Part 3 (I think) of the standard when shapes are
defined
IS Type 1 specific, although it probably allows other formats--this part
happened
after I was booted by the working group chair.
I'd be happy to answer any direct questions that you have, but I'm not in a
position to work on standardization any more.
