    As a native speaker of German, I tend to read the 2d/3d glyph as IS:
    MAISSTAB = corn stick ??. Personally, I like 2f/3f and 2a/3a most (in
    that order). 2b/3b and 2c/3c appear to me as a little too much "small
    long s + small s"-like. 2c/3c look a little "blown up" at their lower
    half, 2e/3e the same at their upper half.
    These comments reflect only my impressions at first glance.
