Does anyone out there have an Old English font or know of one?

Does anyone have or know of an electronic version of Samuel Johnson's
Rasselas, Prince of Abyssinia?


Yours,

I'm on the market for keyboarding services. One name I was given was
the Input Center, based in Chicago. Does anyone have any other firms
that you would recommend?

many thanks in advance

Subject: ``International Arabic''

International vocabulary is quite often misunderstood as romance based
vocabulary, because this is the kind of vocabulary we are most used two.

But there are many, many arabic borrowings in the languages of Afrika
(Hausa, Suaheli) and Asia (Turkish, Hindi/Urdu, Malay, Indonesian). My
question is: Which arabic words were borrowed? Is the stock of
,,international arabic'' described somewhere? Is it electronically
available?

I'm interested in that part of arabic vocabulary, which became
international at least in the islamic influenced part of the world.
