+Dear Dr. Jablan,
+
+\bigskip
+\def\\#1{{\j#1\kern.5em}}
+Yesterday I amused myself by using {\logo METAFONT} to make a font
+based on one of your modular tiles.
+The font has your four characters, `\\0', `\\1', `\\2', and `\\3';
+I also added two experimental ones with a neutral center,
+`\\4' and `\\5'. With this font \TeX\ can, for example, easily produce
+$$\vcenter{\j\hsize=14em\offinterlineskip\obeylines
+..4.4.4.4.4.4.4.4.4.4.4.4.4.

+Would you object if I make the source code for this font
+freely available on my website and on the CTAN archive for
+\TeX\ users? Of course I would credit you for the idea.
