This is great. Now applied and will be included in the next release, which I'm working on right now. > Note: I only added the extra runes to the three variants of Neep that > already had runes in that region: 10x20, 10x20-bold, and 6x13.

Derek Upham did a ton of work on incorporating Unicode characters from other fonts, but only did 6x13 and the two 10x20 fonts. I think that's all we'll have unless someone else decides to extend all of that hard work. > (Also note: moon-letters may not be visible until viewed under > starlight or moonlight.
