I was told via the heralds community that when Free Trumpet Press closed up, the products it
maintained for the heraldic community were to pass over to the SCA Stock Clerk, but on looking at
the SCA market page a few weeks back, that doesn't seem to have happened.  I've got a message into
the person who was working on that transfer of merchandise, and will advise once I hear back.  I'm
also heading up to Known World Heraldic in a week, so will ask there as well.  

Meanwhile, I probably have the proceedings you are looking for, but some of your heralds up in OK
probably do as well, so you may want to check with them first (logistics).  If not, let me know
and I'll look it up to copy.   

Also, you may want to check out Mahee of Acre's webpage for his Islamic Illusionary page, at: 
http://www.geocities.com/mahee_of_acre/      The letter forms are adapted from real arabic
scripts, but the letter combinations are used as english words, so to the Islamic reader the words
look like gibberish.  It's really english, with with letters shaped to look arabic.  He also has
one for chinese forms.   Check it out.  

Good luck, Hillary
