I'm not sure if this has been posted previously or not, but here goes anyway.
I have a couple of nice shareware fonts I got at shareware com. One is
'oedipa maas,' the other is based upon the original cover lettering for
CoL49.
Included within this package is a truetype font of the horn.
I can't remember if their was a version ported for Windows or not, but it
may be worth having a look.
If you go to Shareware com, search under either Pynchon or Oedipa Maas.
Oh, the author said he was going to release another couple, i haven't found
them yet. One was to be entitled _Baby Igor_.

Take care,
Gary

"The Howells Medal is a great honor, and, being gold, probably a good hedge
against inflation, too. But I don't want it. Please don't impose on me
something I don't want. It makes the Academy look arbitrary and me look
rude. . . . I know I should behave with more class, but there appears to be
only one way to say no, and that's no."
