That's what the Xishuangbanna News does for final consonants.  My
issues are generally not with producing the right image, but
rather with enabling the semantically correct sequence of
characters.  (It would be daft to impose phonetic order on the users
and then prohibit it piecemeal.)  I can overcome the USE, the question
is which battles the font is to fight.
