Thanks for including Everson Mono there.

Recently I was typesetting some Hawaiian (another Alice!) and I had occasion to 
modify Everson Mono a bit so that the modifier letter for the glottal stop is 
slightly bigger than the quotation marks. My Hawaiian colleague tells me that 
this is a rather common solution in Hawaiʻi.
