Sound great! Cuis looks very promising!
goals: render _every_ glyph that is in _any_ modern (Unicode) platform font; make fonts offline and online usable, especially on small devices if needed, on demand (by end user).
Sounds cool. What do you mean by offline and online usable?
If a company/organization bought/licensed some special font, or the font is in public domain, and you don't want to install it on every PC or every device, then we can make it part of the Smalltalk .image file.
Have an application in mind which we can add for doing tests?
I am thinking about a kind of a special purpose, offline replicating, non-web wiki, with something like CouchDB as the persistence layer.
If you would need support for any/mix of these scripts,

then our font/glyph support can be interesting for you.
