It's usual to bind "former" and "latter" to the closest preceeding pair of
items, which led me to think you were talking of Shavian versus Deseret,
and that was moderately confusing. Shavian certainly can't be counted an
overwhelming success when compared to Deseret...
In case anyone else is boggled... "Former" actually refers to Cyrillic and
"latter" to Shavian and Deseret together.
