Well, font designers have the freedom to do what they want with their
glyphs, and often they choose to go against conventions to make their design
more original.
But, in this case, I tend to agree that a handful of glyphs in Code2000
could benefit of a few minor changes:
- Capital "J", already mentioned by 11 Digit Boy, is the most striking
example. A nicer glyph is the one use for the Cyrillic letter U+0408.
- Small "i" and "j" (and all accented variants) would be nicer if their top
serif was more similar to that of other letters ("b", "d", "h", "k" and "l";
"m", "n" and "r").
- Small "t" would be nicer if the part over the crossbar would be straight,
not bent.
Anyway, Code2000 remains the most outstanding pan-Unicode font in
circulation, in my mind.
