You will kindly wait until *WG2* assigns it a codepoint before you put it ANYWHERE in your font but the private use area. (If you were thinking of doing so. I couldn't tell but do not mean to offend.) It seems there is glyph variation as to where the bar goes in this one. Robert, could you point me to some sample gifs for the Ladino capital b with stroke? -- Michael Everson *** Everson Typography *** http://www.evertype.com
