The Scribe GaramondBoldItalic raw font file
(/usr/athena/lib/scribe/database/garamo.raw ) contains an error that
renders it unusable.

Scribe complains as follows:

   Error found at rawfont(garamondbolditalic), line 619 while reading a
   RawFont at rawfont(garamondbolditalic), line 467:  The delimited
   string beginning at rawfont(garamondbolditalic), line 619 was never
   terminated by a closing >.

The error description is almost exactly correct--there is a missing
">", but it is on line 468.  That line currently reads

    Location = <Select "/Garamond-BoldItalic",

but it should read

    Location = <Select "/Garamond-BoldItalic">,

Priority:  low (The last time I looked, Athena's LN03 and LPS-40
printers did not implement the Garamond font, so this bug is of
concern only to people who use Athena Scribe to generate output to
their own printers.)
