Code2000 is a work-in-process. It currently (Version 1.13) has over 34000
glyphs.
It is still a bit rough in spots. I am constantly working to improve it and
add more glyphs.
Although it is more-or-less readable at 12 - 18 point, it is much clearer at
about 24 point. Some of the dingbats should be at least 36 point. With font-
smoothing it looks good at normal sizes.
Windows 98 (and up) has font-smoothing built-in. Microsoft has font-smoothing
available for free download for Windows 95. If you're running Windows 95
you should definitely get font smoothing.
To download font smoothing for Windows 95, go to
http://www.microsoft.com/typography/grayscal/smoother.htm
Instructions for installing and activating Windows 95 font-smoothing are
included in the package.
To enable font smoothing in Windows 98, Windows 2000, and Windows M.E.:
1) Click My Computer
2) Click Control Panel
3) Click Display
4) Click Effects tab
5) Put check in box called "Smooth Edges of Screen Fonts"
All of the glyphs are mine, painstakingly drawn one point at a time. I try
to design glyphs which are true to the language they represent based on as
many script samples as I can obtain.
Some of the scripts are only partially represented in the font.

KNOWN ERRORS:
HEBREW: Some combinations of Hebrew non-spacing marks are still not
supported, but the OpenType tables are almost completed
Code2000 claims to support the Chinese code-pages, but it doesn't (yet).
OPENTYPE:
Code2000 now has OpenType tables for some scripts. Gurmukhi and Tamil tables
are now completed, as far as I can tell. This is my second shot at OpenType
tables for Bengali, and any comments or suggestions for improvement in the
Bengali coverage are welcome. The Bengali glyphs are not quite finished,
and several are a bit rough. Much work remains to be done for Devanagari
and other Indic scripts.
