Are these really Microsoft fonts or are might these be Monotype
designs redistributed by MS? In the latter case, I'd use the `m'
supplier letter for Monotype, as usual.
As for a new supplier letters, we seem to be running out of free
codes. What remains are just the letters 'j', 'q', 'v', 'x' 'y'.
BTW, on a similar topic: What about a supplier letter for Berthold?
Would it be OK to reuse `r' (whose original meaning as a prefix for
raw font is considered obsolete)?
