RE: Latin font

["Charles Smith" <Roasted_Beanie msn com>]

Alright, all.  I would be more than happy to be the organizing force behind
this project.  As per Sander's request, I won't make any more glyphs of
Extended-B or Additional.  Okay, now is the time to speak up and let the
group know who's in on this project.  Let us know what glyphs you've been
working on, which font it's for (Serif, Sans, Sans Mono), and let this
project get truly under way.  Preferred subranges include Latin Extended-B
and Additional (which Sander seems to have going pretty well), IPA
extensions, Basic Greek, Greek Extended, Cyrillic, Cyrillic Extended, and
possibly Armenian, Hebrew, Arabic, as well as Combining Diacritical Marks,
Spacing Modifier Letters, General Punctuation, Currency Symbols,
Mathematical Operators, Gothic, Deseret, and Shavian.  If anyone has started
or made any of the glyphs in any of these categories, let everyone, me
especially, know and we can get this project under way.  Take care, all!

Yeah, well, the problem is that I think you are more or less the third
person to go off and add diacritics ;-) In the short term at least, an
organising force that makes sure that everything is in one place, people
at least attempt to talk to each over and don't coninualy duplicate work
is more important than some more glyphs.

Please don't make Extended B or Extended Additional diacritic glyphs, I
have a good collection of those, esp for Serif.
