I'm willing to bet that at least some people can only read one style. > We did it when we disunified Khutsuri from Mkhedruli, Xucuri is the lower-case version of Asomtavruli; Mxedruli is caseless.

It's not possible to take a German text and blithely change to a (simulated) Suetterlin font and expect most people to even recognize it as German or anything else. -- Mark Twain on Cecil Rhodes: John Cowan "I admire him, I freely admit it, http://www.ccil.org/~cowan and when his time comes I shall http://www.reutershealth.com buy a piece of the rope for a keepsake."
