Hello,
I must have missed the discussion in January(?).

If we get glyphs for characters that are in latin-1 but not in
MacRoman, This should be ok.

Ah, not all fonts have to cover all the range. It is perfectly fine
that a font only covers 256 or whatever number of characters.

Probably the conclusion here is the same, but don't worry about
wider set of glyphs too much.
For Japanese, some people tried Mika-chan font for alternative *fun*
look (http://mikachan-font.com/index2.html). Now, I might consider
this as the default eToys look...
