This script reminds me of Klingon piqaD script, with some extra lines. It seems very naturalistic, similar to what you would expect from a hunter-gatherer tribe who had an advanced language.

Yo made a comment early on in the thread that this script could be 'written' with a brush. I remember growing up, that whenever they would show a Chinese or Japanese school, the children would be doing calligraphy with ink and brush. Is that still an important school activity today?

[Ithisa Kíranem]

ah no though it is an elective class you can do after ordinary school  and many people are into it (not me)

Writing with a brush does take a LOT of training though. It is extremely hard to write clearly and symmetrically with a brush that changes size depending on how hard you press on it.

I wanna insall Eoio as well as this font on my gTab10 but I need to root....Dont feel like rooting.

[Ithisa Kíranem]

Rooting on Android phones is pretty safe though since it uses Linux. After rooting you simply login as the normal user and then you are no longer rooted but you have the fonts. Or you can plug it in, chroot, and copy the files in. Or are you unfamiliar with Unix? Unfamiliar with Unix = destroy tablet on rooting 

[akiwiguy]

Should be able to just use the adb shell to copy the fonts over... no root required then.

I am familiar with Unix/Linux as well as the adb somewhat. I have an Android development environment set up on both my (Linux) machines.

Maybe I can just use adb to move files over usb debug? I  know exactly where the .otf files need to go.


EDIT: ninjad, great minds think alike.

[Ithisa Kíranem]

Yeah. Or if you want the hackish way, chroot into the device and cp it in  That requires a Unix-like system on your computer though.

Gedit is compatible, but sadly C code isn't :

['Oma Tirea]

Tewti!  We have initial w and numbers now

If you're up for one more challenge: specialized ?, !, quotation marks ("), and other punctuation that seems useful.

[eejmensenikbenhet]

I got a dip pen and a pot of black ink lying around somewhere, maybe I should write/draw a sort of Rosette stone. (Latin, 'Eoio and Famrel letters.)
Does anyone know a nice text to write?

[Ithisa Kíranem]

Maybe we can translate the actual Rosetta Stone text?
