Oddly, the font (which embedded fine the first couple of passes) apparently 
failed to embed in the last version of the file (which is now up there on 
the site.) What happens when that happens is that Acrobat creates a bitmap 
version of the font, which looks horrible. I'll re-generate it and put it 
up again when I have a chance.

The same text in tLD was supposed to be Unifon; I had a conversation with 
the typesetter at the time that was a comedy of miscommunication. I didn't 
have a unifon font (1992, this was) and neither did they. I don't know why 
we ended up with greek characters -- I sent them a photocopy of the unifon 
characters with the .mss, and asked that they photographically reduce and 
set from that -- it wouldn't have looked great, but I doubt it would have 
looked any sillier than the greek characters we ended up using.
