For all the beautiful ligatures that it has, the í (accented i) is very crude :(

#12As a writer of English I find a font without the letter Q to be distinctly lacking...

#13I'm curious about this - > While typing, you will notice that it is a much more sophisticated handwritten font than others. Spaces between words will not be perfectly identical, and the same two words when typed next to each will not look the same either, thus giving an impression that the text is actually written by hand.

However they do it, it repeats deterministically. Every third character in a repeated string is the same. If you paste "EEE| |EoEoEoEo| |EoiEoiEoi|" into the box and note the changes to the 'E' you should observe the way the E is dependent on the previous characters, but only for a certain distance. I assume this is a ligature-like feature but I don't know enough about fonts to say any more.
Ahhh! I see. It becomes more obvious if you type a lower-case t repeatedly. Thanks :-)

Good news, this font does in fact have the letter q.

#16I was immediately disappointed by not being able to write my name (with ú and Á).
It can work for Lithuanian, German, English, but not other languages that use different diacritics, as it doesn't have any others (accute, grave, circumflex, tilde, etc).

OpenType is technically Turing Complete, however the usual way is to just cycle through letter form variations.

#18Love stuff like this.
The demonstration text on the web site omits Q, but it exists in the actual font file. Maybe there's no Q in Lithuanian?
Too bad about the license, or I'd use it for lots of things. Though I think Millennials who weren't taught cursive writing may have trouble with capital i and both z's.

Yes - Lithuanian language doesn't include Q, as well as X (not sure why X made it into the font, though).

I was trying the Turkish characters and it surprised me by having İ. Very interestingly, it didn't have ı. Does anyone know an alphabet which has İ but not ı?
