Subject: Windows Fonts for transliterated Hebrew
Hi there!
I am trying to find Windows fonts for transliterating Hebrew and other
Semitic languages.
Specifically, I am looking for fonts with underdotted h, z, and macrons
over vowels.
If you know where I could obtain such fonts, please let me know.
Thank you very much for your consideration.

Subject: Identification of a Poem for a Former Student.
Can anyone help me with this poem? The request for the author and a
source for the complete text came to me a couple of months ago from a
student I taught here at the University of Windsor some 30 years ago. She
wrote me not because I taught her English (my field is philosophy), but
because I'm still alive and still here. So far I've drawn a blank. I
gather she's had some kind of difficulty in her life and is trying to pick
up the pieces and get them back together, though she didn't go into much
detail on that. She seemed to think that the poem was important for her
recovery.
"The verse of the poem which I remember," she writes, "is,
You will be what you will be,
Let failure find its false content
With that poor work environment,
But spirit scorns it, and is free."
"And a subsequent verse," she continues, "goes something like,
It masters Time, it conquers space,
And cows that boastful Trickster, chance,
...be not impatient with delay,
but wait as one who understands -
When Spirit rises and commands,
The gods are willing to obey."
I've copied it exacly as she sent it to me. Any help will be
appreciated.
