It would have been impossible for me to carry this project through to
completion without a great deal of help and guidance.


I thank:

- Chris Burke for pushing me out to sea
- Gerry Leonidas for his constant encouragement and careful eye
- Gerard Unger for his wisdom and personal example
- Michael Harvey for teaching me tradition and freedom
- The rest of the faculty at Reading for their solid historical and
theoretical grounding
- and my fellow students for bearing with my endless revisions

I am also indebted to four designers who have indelibly shaped my love for
type:

- Hermann Zapf -- whose designs first awakened my interest in type
- Frederick Goudy -- who showed me that rules can be broken
- Matthew Carter -- who continues to define readability
- and Robert Slimbach -- who proves that beauty and utility can be one

I also thank my colleagues at SIL International for their understanding and
technical expertise. Finally, I thank my family and loving Creator for their
constant support.
