[Scriptoris] Pen Nibs

[Hillary Greenslade]

Ok, this probably won't translate well, but I have created an Excel speadsheet with the Pen Nib
Widths comparison.  If it is not printable, then e-mail me and I'll send you an attachment.  

Originally published in the 'Fourth Manual for the Calligraphic Arts' by Jane Van Milligen ISBN
0-9617137-3-9, from the Center for Calligraphic Arts (1991).  This series is wonderful and worth
having, though probably out-of-print.
  
This nib sheet was originally distributed by Zenaida, from issue number 2, my list is recopied
from issue number 4, so there may be a slight variance.
