Mysteries list
[edit]Monotype made a lot of fonts, sometimes under rather obscure names, and for some of them there's not much information online.
For future reference (& in case I have to stop working on this), here's a list of more obscure Monotype faces that could do with being tracked down. Key online sources are the Alembic and Parnassia lists. I'm planning to go to a reference library - Bodleian, Guildhall or British presumably, to look some of this up.
