What criteria would you use for determining these properties? How would
you determine which characters should be identified as "spoof buddies"
(after you've gotten the easy cases like Latin/Greek/Cyrillic A out of
the way)?

If your answer is "by lookin' at 'em," then my next question will be,
"In what font?"
