Yeah it was weeks ago. I don't know why the message was held so long. In
fact, I don't know when it came through because I didn't receive a copy
of it myself.

The reason it is relevant, is that he faced the same issues of creating
a decent looking book in some languages for which there were no or
limited font support at the time of writing. His set of languages is (I
presume) a subset of yours.

That the text of his book dealt with computer standards and the like
while yours dealt with a different topic does not distract from the
issue of creating example images. He spent a fair amount of time
describing the structure of the writing systems themselves in his book,
which is geared towards people who may have an interest but not much
experience in the languages for professional reasons. Which I presume is
similar to your goals for a different audience. That is why I think the
problems you and he faced were similar in nature.

Best,

Barry
