Your reply is a little late, Glen! I had a bet for a free lunch that someone
would want a font containing glyphs with English-based mnemonics within 24
hours of my first post about the font last week. Oh well. Guess I'll have to
cadge my meals elsewhere :-)
With apologies to Ogden Nash:
"Names cause everyone to complain, but pictures quickly become fixtures."
Opinion: it did not take people long to learn all those international icons
for things like bathrooms and airports. I do not think there is any reason to
expect people to learn these much slower, do you?
