The formatted look good Peter but how many users will be able to format and
bump the size? This is just the beginning, I know with time things will

Looking at the above it is obvious that the acute on top of the e and o with
dot below is a bit too high almost to the point of looking like a cedilla

below and grave or acute accent to make it easier for font and keyboard
developers to implement.
What do you think?
