    Out of mild curiosity: (a) what font did you use to create the legends
    in the frame of each glyph; (b) are all the various representative glyphs
    drawn from a common font, and if so, which one?

    Defect reports based on the 236-page PDF:

    p. 17 (Thaana): the bottom of the frame reads "THAAN" with a broken glyph
    following.

    p. 18 (Phoenician): the top of the frame reads "OENECIAN", the bottom is
    blank, and the rest of the glyph is black.

    p. 55 (Pahawh): bottom of frame is blank.

    p. 63 (Syloti Nagri): both top and bottom read "SILOTI NAGRI".

    p. 171 (Brahmi): both top and bottom read "BRAMHI".
