thanks for the upload; i've installed the package as requested (at
Cambridge, in the absence of the dante.ctan.org manager).

cryst – Font for graphical symbols used in crystallography
The font is provided as an Adobe Type 1 font, and as METAFONT source. Instructions for use are available both in the README file and (with a font diagram) in the documentation.
