I know your name on Typophile. You seem to be very fine to East Asian languages. Émilie is still working on to make Japanese part. She sent me email few weeks ago about the questions how to make Japanese font. She might take a long time to accomplish making fonts but I'm very looking forward to see her work. There are much difference between Asian scripts and Latin alphabet but I thought it is very important to know each other script when we set both of languages text together. I hope to develop mutual culture exchange thorough making fonts. Hi Jongseong,

Thank you for a very interesting article. I had looked at a PDF specimen of Émilie's Coline and had wondered what Japanese type designers would make of it. I am Korean, so to me the Japanese kana are somewhat more familiar than to Westerners, but I wouldn't dare try designing them, at least not without taking a long time to study the forms. So I was really impressed that Émilie put in a lot of work to learn the script and to design a typeface for it. I’ve only just now found this article through the TypeOff trackback.
