Dear list,

I am happy to report that www.worldswritingsystems.org <http://www.worldswritingsystems.org/> is now online.

The web site is a joint venture by

— Institut Designlabor Gutenberg (IDG), Mainz, Germany,
— Atelier National de Recherche Typographique (ANRT), Nancy, France and
— Script Encoding Initiative (SEI), Berkeley, USA.

For every known script, we researched and designed a reference glyph.

You can sort these 292 scripts by Time, Region, Name, Unicode version and Status.
Exactly half of them (146) are already encoded in Unicode.

Here you can find more about the project:

All the best,
Johannes
