Eckhard,  I had another look at your font page.  So far, I can't understand 
how it is supposed to work.   For example, when I look at the Viking style 
A (it's nice to see how it looks when woven, thank you), I see the shape of 
the letter A created by the Fs on a background of Bs.  I don't see the 
turning pattern FFBB which is required to get the double-faced weave.  Are 
you only trying to show the shape of the letters and not the actual turning 
pattern?  Maybe I'm trying to read something that isn't there.

I have been thinking that the tablets could be arranged in any of the above 
three ways.  They will look different when woven.   I was not planning to 
specify tablet arrangement in my book, but to just show some examples of 
the difference between all threaded in one direction and 
alternately-threaded tablets.  Generally I prefer alternately-threaded 
because I like the surface texture and the tablets are easier to turn.
