Apart from Linux having no ALT+0000 combinations but uses a
third and fourth level with AltGr and AltGr+Shift ...

You'd have at least (26+19)*2 = 90 possible glyphs that way.
Plus the AltGr stuff on Windows, it'd be 102 glyphs that
you could use. At least all this according to my German
keyboard which has additionally äöü߀, but {[]}=as AltGr
combinations...

Normal
^1234567890ß´
qwertzuiopü+
asdfghjklöä#
<yxcvbnm,.-

Shift
°!"§$%&/()=?`
QWERTZUIOPÜ*
ASDFGHJKLÖÄ'
 >YXCVBNM;:_

AltGr (using "x" for "nothing")
xx²³xxx{[]}\x
@x€xxxxxxxx~
xxxxxxxxxxxx
|xxxxxxµxxx

Nice idea however, go on with it! Can Win98 or Linux BTW
handle OpenType?
