<p class="MsoNormal">Thanks Richard</p>

<p class="MsoNormal">@font-face is defined in site.css and the quadrats are implemented by GSUB rules in the font (which is just a temporary font like the I&E demo font I circulated in the summer - it will change when I’ve made the full-fat version in the not
too distant). </p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Its testing whether the text displays as expected. No scripting, pure web font. A tester doesn’t need to know how for this purpose, only whether it works! I’ve update the page to show expected outcome.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The question of alternate glyphs or code points for various characters is an upcoming repertoire discussion. I hope to release Plane 15 guidance and fonts I’m using (based on Aegyptus) when time permits but higher priority is items of interest
to UTC for their next meeting in a months time.</p>

<p class="MsoNormal">hello Bob,</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">i'm not clear about what the page is meant to be testing.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">is the page intended to check whether a user can see hieroglyphs using
</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">the web font, or that they can see them arranged in quadrats, or both?</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">i see all the characters, but i can't tell whether that's because i have
</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">a couple of hieroglyphic fonts already on my system, or whether the
</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">webfont is providing the glyphs (except for the glyph with a green
</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">background). (I also looked at the source briefly, but couldn't see any
</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">@font-face rule, and the descriptions of the page in your blog and
</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">emails don't mention what web font is being used. I'd like to know what
</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">font was used.)</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">i also see the characters arranged in quadrats, but i don't know whether
</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">what i'm seeing is fully correct. If the quadrat behaviour is something
</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">your page is testing, i suggest that you include images of the expected
</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">outcome, so that people can compare their results with the expectations.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">it's also not clear in the descriptions whether the quadrat behaviour is
</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">produced by the web font or scripting. I suspect it's the latter. It
</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">would be good to make that clear.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">finally, it may also be useful for the reader to indicate that you are
</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">using the U+F510F [Supplementary Private Use Area-A] code point to
</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">represent glyph with the green background, rather than simply an
</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">alternate font glyph for U+13139 EGYPTIAN HIEROGLYPH F051.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">hope that helps,</p>
