This doesn't help you, but I thought others might be amused to know
that I once put together a Tibetan font for 'vtroff', the Unix printing
system that plots bitmapped fonts on a Versatec plotter.  I didn't
implement vowels or punctuation, but even so it's great for running off
(say) manual pages.  Tibetan has a writing system which almost no one
can identify at first glance...

Getting the serifs to look right was murder,
