However, Wolicka's name was on a list of 45 female Russian students sent to Tolstoy, who were all banned from teaching in the Russian Empire, forcing them to leave Switzerland by January 1, 1874.
There is no evidence that Wolicka was ever part of this circle, and recent research indicates that some students in Zurich were listed as revolutionaries by the government based solely on the fact that they had attended university in Switzerland during the period 1872–73. Some were put on trial in Russia, during the Trial of Fifty in 1877, leading to convictions and imprisonment for several. The Russian government achieved the expulsion of several women students in Zurich, due to the political threat it saw in radical socialist activists called the "Fritschi Circle" (named after their Zurich landlady, Frau Fritsch). She petitioned the Minister of Education, Dmitry Tolstoy, directly, without success. Wolicka elected to continue her studies after her request for an exemption from the decree was denied. In 1873 she defied a decree ordering Russian women studying abroad to abandon their studies.
Wolicka, born in Warsaw (which from 1867 was within the Russian Empire) pursued her history degree despite the efforts of the Russian government of the time to prevent women from pursuing higher education.

The big foundries really need to be a more consumer-friendly in this arena if they want to make any progress tackling this problem.Įdited 1 time(s). This is to say nothing about the confusing licensing terms and usurous pricing schemes that directly lead to widescale font piracy in the business world.
And wasn't there some sort of "Buy fonts" functionality built-in to Apple's own Font Book that they removed before it was released? I think Linotype is on the right path with FontExplorerX and its built-in iTMS-like font store (too bad I'm a firm believer in the greatness of FontAgent Pro). With an exponentially greater number of people exposed to finer typographic tools, I'm a bit surprised that Adobe or Bitstream or some other large font house hasn't tried to lower their prices and make up for it in volume. It seems like a lot of the big foundires are still stuck in the pre-DTP mentality regarding access and pricing of fonts. How is Zurich BT a "standard" font in the UK? Is it bundled with all copies of Windows that ship there?
