My regrets for this evening's call. I'm getting ready to travel to
China tomorrow. I'm also further behind on the report than I would
have liked, in consequence (but will have some time on the flight to
get more done).

It is probably worth evaluating; it should be done with significant
input from font designers so they are comfortable that the visual
integrity is not compromised.
