The people I know who might have these fonts are David Ganz at King's
College London (david.ganz@kcl.ac.uk) or Pam Robinson at the Institute for
English Studies (pamela.robinson@sas.ac.uk). I don't know if anything the
Canterbury Tales Project at DeMontfort U. has developed has these symbols or
not; you may have to bitmap them.
Please let us know if you find this font!

Try contacting Gary Stringer or Syd Connor at the University of Southern
Mississippi. WE use those symbols in our transcriptions of texts for the Donne
Variorum. Write me privately for their email addresses, or go to the Donne
Variorum Website for contact information. The site address is:
