Happy New Year Raul;
I wonder if you tried pencil&paper, or dry-erase marker & whiteboard, or
even the characters as presented in the default font?
I have not had much luck with 'let me take over your machine to demo
this wonderful new thing.' myself.

That APL source code is in a hard-to-extract format, a workspace, seems
to me a red herring. The symbols shoehorned into the ANSI characters of
text-mode DOS were no big deal either: I still think of "square root"
as "rho" and "gamma" as "iota"
Ok, but I tried to get a friend to read some APL code I had written, which
I thought was pretty simple and illustrated a point.
He did not want to have to install any new fonts, and when I said I
could send him an image, he just flat out refused, and that was the
end of that conversation.
