That isn't going to happen. Why? Because CJK is in the hands of the IRG, who work on it constantly and will give us new characters whenever they are ready. A very great number of other scripts, on the other hand, are being worked on by people like me. When something is ripe, it is ripe. I am not concentrating on Tengwar these days, having said that. Most recently I concentrated on Aegean scripts and Osmanya. -- Michael Everson *** Everson Typography *** http://www.evertype.com
