RE: VMs: Image Source, Accuracy of Transcriptions



Glen:  I wish you 100% luck in being the one to solve this thing!  I really do understand your viewpoint - I just disagree with it, and that is OK.  I don't mean anything personal by that at all!  At this point your opinions are as valid as mine or anyone elses.  and I agree with you that EVA is not the best font to use for statistics, but (from my side of things) it is the best of what is available.  I am thinking of making EVA+ (ie including a "u" glyph) for my own personal use to see how that changes things.  We'll see.

As for myself, I was born (too long ago) with an inate ability to see patterns in things.  That's what made me fall into the field of computer programming along with other sidelines that seem to relate to look/analyze/convert processes.  I just hope that I can contribute SOMETHING to the effort.  If not, then I apologize for the additional "noise" in your inboxes.  

Wish you the best,
Larry

Other than my few posts on the subject, I don't believe I've seen any
glyph-level statistics published recently.  I've seen several posts based on
EVA, but we are discussing glyph-level here, and they are not present
anywhere.  I don't see how it is possible to move forward when you don't
have the proper information to work with.  Oh well....

But thank you for coming to my defense.  I intended to do good, but managed
to reek havoc, as usual.  So many bright people, with shiny new ideas, toys
and play things.  And me, a drudging old soul with myopic focus, out to ruin
the fun for everyone by solving the damned thing.  Maybe I need to live a
little, buy a plaid jacket perhaps? :-)
