+% [christianne-key+debbie-box.tex]
+% Christianne, one of the triplets next, door was going on class trip
+% to a Cree community in northern Alberta. She provided
+% me with a class list and I made up name tags with the names in
+% Cree syllabics.
+% in order to do so I created my own TeX definitions for the Unicode
+% syllabics symbols. For example:
+% \def\ki{\char"146D}
+% All these defintions were placed in the special mac file [ christianne-debbie.mac]
+% This mac file also contained the oskibold font at various nominal font sizes, e.g.
+% \font\creeBBBBBB = [/home/liliane/ROGER/MY-FONTS/oskiwbold.ttf] at 75pt
+
+% On the TeX form I added to the list of mac files:
+\input christianne-debbie.mac % special
+
+% I then made wooden key chains for her and her mother with their names,
+% both in Cree and Latin letters, burned into the wood. Since I was not sure
+% of the size I defined various font sizes and printed them out.
+
+% The following is the TeX file without the regular heading
+

+\input christianne-debbie.mac % special
