Thanks for the "expanded" info. When I ran a type studio in the 80s I was constantly annoyed at how type "sets" (fonts) were "incomplete" but I would play the game of buying additional digital characters. But inwardly I did wonder why someone didn't invent something like what we now know as Unicode. I spent a lot of time on Cyrillic, and fonts for making chess diagrams for my Alphatype equipment. At 5300 lpi inch it was peerless, and even today no one else comes close in terms of output.
At one time Edward Rondthaler asked me to do a column on chess fonts for U&lc magazine but I never got around to it. I don't know if he is still alive. Last I heard he was close to 100.
