Re: Character-distinguishing fonts

I think that in the major browsers and word processers,
you can select the actual font per script. For example,
in Opera, you can use Tools -> Preferences -> Advanced ->
Fonts -> International Fonts...

This will allow you to create a combined font that distinguishes
scripts the way you prefer it. Using strong distinctions
between fonts may be good to recognize spoofing attacks,
but it's not necessarily very aesthetic, so it may be
better if individuals patch together what they see as
acceptable, rather than fonts being created with the
intent to please everyone.

Regards,    Martin.
