Mye Goodye Cosynes,

I am in the final stages of completing more than a dozen books on my
family history. I sit with one single problem to finish one of these books.
This particular book uses characters that are not in the Times New
Roman character sets. The main characters missing look something like this:

Each of the following characters has the ~ symbol directly over it:
c e g m n o p r t u v w

Each of the following characters has the - symbol directly over it:
e m u

Each of the following characters is the size of a single character:

09 00 19 1 2 3 5 6 7
-- -- -- - - - - - -
10 01 20 2 3 4 6 7 8


I currently am using bitmap images for these special characters, but do
not give me the quality print I am looking for. The image tends to go to
greyscale when imported into Word or Adobe Acrobat Compiler.

As far as I know, and can see, the Times New Roman font has spare
places in the font file for user font characters. Can any-one help to get
these
characters into my Times New Roman font file ?. Or there somewhere where
I can obtain these specific TNRoman characters ?. I can email the zipped
bitmaps of these characters to anyone interested.


Your Sincerely,
Sir Ken Markham, K.C.B, (95)
