| Feb 21, 2014 at 12:26 | comment | added | allcaps | Thanks for the comments and suggestions. Yes I've looked at other fonts. Not all of them ;). I was thinking about EU and doing a different font per country. EU has many countries, languages, scripts and requirements. I want to do the minimal required glyphs per country. Unicode Standardized subsets comes close. But I'm looking for more fine grained methods. I'm starting to think about ebooks and counting glyphs. Knowing regular char combinations might be handy too. But something of the shelf is better! | |

In any case you will be missing many language groups (to put it plainly about 2 billion people are definitely way out of your league). Taking the European fonts about doubles/tripples your audience, but not the paying audience. Threat this like cashing out investments do it if you really need the money or in this case somebody asks you. | |
