Quite apart from the inappropriateness of this announcement to the Unicode
list (dozens of fonts are released every month, and there is no need for
any of them to be announced in this forum), or the inappropriateness of
your design to e.g. typesetting Middle English (or any human language),
your font contains dozens of glyph outline and table errors. I suggest you
get your hands on the MS Font Validator* and check your fonts before
releasing them to the public.
