I'm home now (and using the program at work) But I believe I amusing
the VRI Roman font, which I originally found on the site with

http://www.vri.dhamma.org/publications/pali/primer/

At the time, I believe Andy favoried the LeedsBit PaliTranslit font,
which I have. I will upload that to the file section as well since
many of the searches for it turn up dead links.
