sixpack medium                                           a Unicode font, for developers of globalised code

2011 Dec 17 sees the addition of polytonic Greek, filling a rather large gap in 20th and 21st century usage, some more symbols and some unfinished stuff on English Phonological Alphabets in the PUA. The last eighteen months have seen a rather remarkable succession of hardware and software failures, so it seemed prudent to make this unfinished work available while everything is in working order.

the new version (ver 1.005, 2010 May 07) incorporates a few more glyphs, plus SIL PUA 5.2 , which gives those of you working with minority languages a couple of dozen new characters, plus a host of duplicate codepoints which should not be used for new work
