So, make it 20 pages... or 200.
Even such a limited Rosetta stone would be beneficial.
And you don't need all of them to be done on the first
day and all by one person... a few here, a few there,
and a useful list will soon accumulate.
As to pictures of the script versus the script as used
on different systems, both have their place.
