I was one of those people looking for a Sox font and was alerted to the
Ortiz artwork by someone in this group.  I made some fonts from that artwork
but I have never posted it.  I called the font "Bosox."  There are 4
variations which I named Bosox, Bosox SemiBold, Bosox Outline, and Bosox
Outline Heavy.  There's also one called Bosox Full which I think is
identical to Bosox SemiBold but I'll upload it as well, just in case it
might be useful to anyone.   The "bold" versions are not exactly just bolder
versions of the regular fonts but it was the only naming convention I could
think of.
This was one of my first attempts to make a TrueType font (Windows version,
BTW) so the kerning is not perfect but I think it is passable.
