Peter,

Pleased to introduce myself. I'm one of your more avid fans, even if
you've never heard of me! My copy of D&B is pretty dog-eared at this
point....

I publish mostly in the field of Unicode character and script
proposals, since I'm concerned with the practical applications of
getting writing systems out there and available. I started working on
non-Latin fonts in 1988 or so, and got into encoding analyses,
and.... the result you can find on my website. My more formal
documents you can see at:

http://www.evertype.com/formal.html
http://www.evertype.com/standards/comhadlann.html

The latter is an archive of older papers superceded by the successful
encoding of a character or script, or which have been superceded by
newer discussion papers.

My site is fairly eclectic, I'm told. Your welcome to stop over for a
browse....

Best regards,
