    Actually that's the number of characters. Not all the characters have
    glyphs yet though. Currently I'm churning through all those new
    supplemental arrows. Ugh. I have been enjoying working on the
    Ethiopic though, which isn't yet integrated. There are a lot of
    those....

    I'm not bothered. How can I compete with Monotype? But I made all my
    glyphs myself. I bet they had a team doing it. :-)

    Anyway, I bet the size is all them pesky Han characters.... Have they
    a nice Ogham? :-)
