I'm using Cyberbit here, It's a freeware TTF font that I converted to
RISC OS format using !TTF2f, which app as far as I remember ran on my
late Iyo; it certainly runs on this ARMini. From my hazy memory,
DoulosSIL mainly deals with diacritics of languages like Czech, though
this might be my mistake. I don't think it's a full Unicode font,
anyway. Cyberbit has omissions, where occasionally characters appear
as hex couplets, but is pretty wide-ranging.

With best wishes,

Peter.
