"However, don't you think "in the next couple of years" is a little slow, and a
little late?"
Yep – I sure do.
But the reality (for us at least) is that a lot of other projects had to get
done first with the resources at hand.
Adding the foreign characters was a bit more than a cut-and-paste job since
the various accents had to be designed to conform the original design. Lots of
work to do it right.
All of our new fonts – and there are lots of them – do have a complete
international character set, although the computer-specific characters are
still omitted. Just not a lot of real need for them.
Thanks for the kind words about FontBank typefaces! The sidegrade with the
foreign characters will be very inexpensive: somewhere between $15 and $25,
depending on production cost. Be forewarned, though, they will eat up
considerably more of your hard disk space.
