Very nice! One question: I was curious why you chose this subset of Scandinavian special characters. There are three extended chars in Swedish (äöå) and Norwegian/Danish (æøå), but your fonts have æ, but not ø, which means you could drop the æ and still support Swedish, or add an ø to also support Norwegian and Danish. Was this an oversight or is there some locale that has just æ and not ø? (and before anyone asks I did not confuse æ with the oe-ligature œ, which is a different glyph used in French, and which the fonts also do support) |

Well, Icelandic uses ö in place of ø, but also requires ð and ý which are not included.
Æ is sometimes used in older English texts, though, in words like “encyclopædia” or in plurals of latin-derived words: https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/Category:English_plurals_in_-...
