The content-type for that seems not to be set correctly.

The metafont version looks reasonably nice, and the FontStruct one
seems clear enough -- suitable for a newspaper, perhaps.

I'd like to design a font for Sturnan, but that might be somewhat
difficult -- it's an abugida, so the vowels are non-spacing
characters, and each vowel has two forms depending on whether it's
before or after the consonant it appears on. I think I would need to
find a collection of fourteen non-spacing characters and about twenty
spacing characters, and then come up with a corresponding keyboard
layout.
