Noting, BTW, that localizing the LR font for each of the scripts for
which the OS itself is localized is (a) very expensive, and (b) of
*really* marginal utility.
Personally, I'd rather pressure Apple's management to pay Michael for
new fonts for additional scripts than to pay him to draw new localized
versions of the LR font.
