I got a notification e-mail today letting me know that the Icelandic primer has been posted to Project Gutenberg (it’s #5424). Cool. I should have the TeX/PDF version done within a week or so, depending on how much time I’m able to put into it. Shouldn’t take too long, though. I scanned in the TP&V for The Story of Mormonism last Saturday, but the files got corrupted en route, so I’ll have to rescan them.

I caught up on replying to e-mails today, other than two or three that came in the last few days. Yesterday I got a book at the BYU library about a guy’s experience in Thailand as an LDS missionary (Two Years in God’s Mormon Army, by Ross H. Palfreyman), which looks pretty good. I haven’t started reading it yet, though.

I’ve been thinking about making a Unicode font for Coptic, based off Coptonew. It would be pretty easy to copy and paste the characters into the appropriate places. (The reason I would do this is that there aren’t any Coptic fonts that have Unicode support — at least not that I’m aware of — and Unicode doesn’t actually have Coptic-only characters, just the Greek ones and the few additional Coptic ones. So if you wanted to print out a Coptic text, it would use the Greek font most of the time, which isn’t what one wants, especially because some of the characters look slightly different.) I keep finding all these projects I want to start on, but I won’t be able to do even half of them since I enter the MTC in just over a month. Oh well. I’ll be back in two years and can do all of them then. I wonder where Unicode will be in two years… Hopefully much more prevalent than it is now. It’ll be interesting to see where everything is in two years, for that matter. The world could be at war by then. Times change.
