Thank you for the corrections. A thousand additions should shortly be made.

I'm not sure what you mean by A...Z

I purposely "broke" true alphabitizing if an "a" or "itc" prefix
was needed. As it seemed more appropriate for all the Garamonds
to be at the same place in the list.

The font snooper could not care less what order the names are
in. I just wanted it to look as clean and maintained as possible.
