Hi ,

The quotes are from your proposal

What is the vision to support also Postscript as glyphs/fonts?

What it be also possible to handle graphical symbols this way:
icons/ topic. For example mathematical version:
integrations symbol / mathe?

Well, and here is a thought which came to my mind during reading the
proposal.

Would your proposal support that a symbol is parse and reprensent via
icon/symbol
in the related IDE (Interaktive Development Environment) via the
following steps.
(1) parsing character
(2) reading tokens
(3) interpretation as symbols
(4) mapping the symbol and its graphical represent store in another
character set

Just an idea,

Peter
