Do you have information on the WGL character set? This is the
> font that Windows users may have. What characters are in it and what are
> the character numbers? Is this a subset of Unicode? Are the character
> numbers the same?

> they wanted to call (the) "World Glyph List" Thus, WGL was born. This is
> really a misnomer in the sense that this is only a small portion of the
> world's glyphs."
