Very nice!  But why are the letters on the (grey) buttons grey?  It's
slightly hard to read.  (I'm seeing this in both Konqueror and
Firefox, so I don't _think_ it's local to me.)

I'd like to see Arabic and Tibetan, both of which are slightly
trickier than what you've got so far, but probably manageable (as long
as you didn't go beyond the standard stacks in Tibetan).  Something
like Devanagari wouldn't work well with this model unless you
basically gave up on the conjuncts, I think.

(Actually, one might argue it was best with an abugida to present
vowelled syllables rather than just consonants (with some scripts
there's a lot of contextual variation in the forms of the vowel
marks).  That would mean a _lot_ of buttons in some cases,
particularly if you included conjuncts.)

And Tengwar, and Engsvanyali. :-)
