The problem is partly with Uniscribe, the Windows software for handling
complex scripts, which does not understand that Latin *is* a complex
script.

Isadora:

Fortunately quite a lot of basic Latin letters are available in
precomposed form with an acute accent: A, AE, C, E, G, I, K, L, M, N,
O, P, R, S, U, W, Y, Z.  Fonts like Gentium, Code 2000, and Herman's
own Thryomanes will provide all of these in both upper and lower case.

Consider the matter of Analytic Philosophy.  Dennett and Bennett are well-known.
Dennett rarely or never cites Bennett, so Bennett rarely or never cites Dennett.
There is also one Dummett.  By their works shall ye know them.  However, just as
no trinities have fourth persons (Zeppo Marx notwithstanding), Bummett is hardly
known by his works.  Indeed, Bummett does not exist.  It is part of the function
of this and other e-mail messages, therefore, to do what they can to create him.
