Now that Old Hungarian is encoded in Unicode, is anyone aware of a font
(freely available or not) that supports it, or of plans by anyone to
develop one?
I'm not looking for a font that maps OH to the ASCII range, such as the
original Csenge.
I've already tried the major search engines

Response to the N4917 about the Rovas Script
And so here we go again, yet another salvo in the ongoing battle over
the correct English-language name of the script, over how many such
scripts there actually
Frankly, it's very disappointing to see the encoding of this fascinating and
historic writing system be delayed for so many years due to this kind of
squabbling.
Doug, I, as a user of Old Hungarian have started a discussion on the
possible encoding of the script which eventually lead here
No, I'm not at all sure of that. I'm also probably less disappointed
than Michael, who wrote the first draft proposal for Old Hungarian
(N1686) more than fourteen years ago. But now it's disappointing to us
outsiders as well.

why Old Hungarian has been set aside for the past 6 years rather than

I'll try to respond to this, since Michael is probably quite busy with
the just-concluded meeting in Toronto, and since I'm interested in Old
Hungarian as well.

Why do you think that's true? People use characters all the time based

There will be a beta period, beginning in January I believe.

The Old Hungarian script (rovásírás) was proposed by Michael Everson in WG2
document N1686, dated 1998-01-18. Further information, including an amended
code table, was provided in WG2 document N1758, dated 1998-05-02.
