They did consider it thoroughly, but found that most people (read: humans) use the Latin alphabet instead of the native Klingon. (Fonts do exist, of course.) Esperanto letters are very well included as precomposed characters. I hope it's only a matter of time when important Conlangs do get their place. Or maybe one should ask for reservation for a (large) area specifically for conlangs so that we had a way around using the private use areas, which are technically not for interchanging text. This way, there would be an official place where we could then semi-officially be secondary script registrar. This might be potential work for your Language Creation Society, I think. :-) I just asked Micheal (Everson) what he thinks the chances would be. **Henrik
