    Meanwhile I have received a copy of the font. Unfortunately it is too
    large to send as an attachment. (Sarasvati responded: ‘The message you
    are trying to send is far too large for this list. The limit is about
    70k bytes. Please do not send large files to the mail list.’ —
    Sophonetica.ttf is 956 KB in size.)

    The font makes extensive use of the PUA. It covers the following ranges:
    Basic Latin (95 out of 128 characters)
    Latin-1 Supplement (96 out of 128 characters)
    Latin Extended-A (128 out of 128 characters)
    Latin Extended-B (138 out of 208 characters)
    IPA Extensions (94 out of 96 characters)
    Spacing Modifier Letters (43 out of 80 characters)
    Combining Diacritical Marks (38 out of 112 characters)
    Greek and Coptic (114 out of 134 characters)
    Cyrillic (198 out of 256 characters)
    Combining Diacritical Marks Supplement (1 out of 42 characters)
    Latin Extended Additional (248 out of 256 characters)
    Greek Extended (233 out of 233 characters)
    General Punctuation (42 out of 107 characters)
    Currency Symbols (3 out of 25 characters)
    Arrows (14 out of 112 characters)
    Mathematical Operators (9 out of 256 characters)
    Miscellaneous Technical (2 out of 233 characters)
    Latin Extended-C (1 out of 32 characters)
    Supplemental Punctuation (5 out of 50 characters)
    Latin Extended-D (11 out of 114 characters)
    Private Use Area (3,655 out of 6,400 characters)

    Best,
