[Latingp] Latin GP meeting

Dear colleagues, 

My apologies for missing today's meeting.  I have a couple of thoughts, should we get to the combining diacritics discussion. 

1) Because we have chosen Courier New as one of our 3 primary fonts, if we find that there are issues with it that is sufficient to say we have a critical problem.  Even if we don't see the same issue in other fonts.  (If we decide that we don't care about problems which occur primarily in Courier New, then I submit that we need to select another constant width font.  And go back and reevaluate ALL of the potential variant candidates we have examined so far.) 

2) The cases where a combining diacritic in Courier New merely displaces the subsequent letter, inserting a space containing just the diacritic, are an irritation.  But not really a serious problem.  
However, in any case where the combining diacritic ends up ON the subsequent letter I believe we must remove that letter/diacritic combination from our repertoire.  We should include a list of the cases we have rejected, and explain why, in the document.  Then, should the Unicode Consortium at some point create an appropriate pre-composed code point, it can be added to the repertoire.  But until and unless that happens, the potential for mistaken identity is simply unacceptable.
Regards,

Bill Jouris
