Evaluation report

Hi folks,

I just committed a first draft of the Evaluation Report.

I mainly concentrated on easy to understand introductory material, 
explaining the problem to be solved and why it is important. Bearing in 
mind that the primary audience are not necessarily familiar with fonts 
in general.

Also, as a group we do not have a final analysis or any conclusions 
decided, so those sections are simply blank.

But it gives an outline of how the report could look, so we can discuss 
the overall structure and approach at least.

Reading over it just before the call, I think it actually needs a whole 
new section that explains what OpenType is, sfnt table structure, and 
how rendering a single glyph can depend on data scattered over several 
tables. But I wanted to discuss that on the call before starting to add 
it. I'm thinking again of an introductory and probably diagram-heavy 
exposition. And this will explain in turn why the byterange approach has 
to concentrate on a single table rather than lots of little tables.
