Hello Michael,
I hope you still remember that I am one of the (apparently very few)
people who paid for Everson Mono. That was more than ten years ago.

Instead of criticising a term, would you mind proposing a different term?

Nobody has to weep for me. I actually haven't used Everson Mono much,
I'm not even sure whether I ever used it, but at the time I found the
idea that somebody was working on a font that covered Unicode really
worthy of support.
Regards, Martin.
