Hence, SyrCOM plans to have the final 'touches' of its fonts completed by a professional typographer. In order to cover its expense, SyrCOM is calling academic and community institutions, and end-users to support this endeavor through its 'Adopt a Syriac Font Program'. In the latter case, SyrCOM will put together the contributions of three contributors to cover the cost of a font. The names of contributors will appear in the font itself, on the SyrCOM Web site, and on any publication of SyrCOM regarding Project Meltho. Please note that this money does NOT go to SyrCOM or any of its staff.
All work done by the SyrCOM staff is voluntary and constitutes a service to the community.
The fonts will be distributed by SyrCOM to users FREE of charge through its web site. If you think your library, university, church, or club can make use of the SyrCOM fonts, please do your best to convince the people in charge to adopt a font. If you have the means to support the project, your contribution will be a valuable service to the community. Pending funds, SyrCOM plans to have the fonts available to the public in the first quarter of 2000. Please act swiftly.
