Scarecrow> Nice font.  It's interesting how this stuff gets copied 
                  and modified along the way.
(long history of font deleted to save space).

Whereas I saw this font in one of Scarecrow's sigs and adapted it 
for use in a BBS where I function as a host (a sort of a base-op). 
We're all assigned greek letters, so I created a sigma out of it:

         ...   ...  ......   ...... .........      .........
         :::   ::: :::::::: ::::::: :::::::::      :::::::::
         :::   ::+ ::+  ::: +::        +::          :+:: 
         +:+   :+: +:+  :+: +:+        +:+           :+:+
         :+::+:++: :+:  +:+ ++::++     +:+            +:++
         +++++++++ +++  +++  ++++++    +++            ++++
         +++   +#+ ++#  +++     +#+    #++           ++#+
         #+#   +#+ #+#  +#+     +#+    #+#          #+#+
         ##+   ### +#+#+##+ ##+####    ##+         +###+#++#
         ###   ###  ######  ######     ###         #########


So now you know this font works even in Greek!

 (I really am going to have to figure out how to make this #@$#%
commercial interface do a proper sig.)
