I'm so glad you had a better bus experience!! Better, and cheaper, too!! "There is no bad here!" as my son's favorite expression goes!!
I remember reading Heart of Darkness as part of an English college course. That's so interesting about Gutenberg!! As you no doubt know, before that, Bibles were laboriously copied out by hand by various groups of monks and were VERY costly!!
I'd hazard a guess that "fountain pens' were/are related to fount/font.
