More new fonts!  It's christmas all over again <GGG>

Sadly, neither file seems to load properly on my machine, hold on...

Nope, Fontlab doesn't like either of them them either.  Still, here are my
immediate opinions.

Desoto looks very "sci-fi", and is actually fairly easy on the eye, once
you get into it.  I'm not surprised you use it a lot.

When I saw Bering, my first thought was that it looks like how a
Goth(icograph (?!?!)) might write Armenian letters.  It's definitely looks
less "Roman" than the other, but given Desoto as an intermediate step, I'd
say the relationship to Roman ought to be traceable.

Interesting so far, do you have either font available in any other
format(s)?
