I'm surprised somebody hasn't done this sooner. Fonts from 1743 have 
been out of copyright for at least, oh, 5 years or so. ;)

John wrote a new TrueType font and asked me about package it for Debian
as I'm already doing with isabella and staypuft.

It contains 817 characters: all of ASCII, Latin-1, and Latin Extended A;
some of Latin Extended B (basically, the ones that are more or less based
on Roman letters); and a variety of other characters, such as oddball
punctuation, numerals, etc.
