As Ken pointed out, the basic requirement of a font ensures that the
producers of the Unicode book and the online glyph charts have the means to
do their job, and reduces the likelihood that publication will have to be
delayed while they try to find someone to make a font. I think this is
sufficient reason.

A dinner invitation, once accepted, is a sacred obligation.
If you die before the dinner takes place, your executor
must attend.
