Following that numbering scheme, I can see all but #5, although googling the question mark where 5 is shows me that it's majiscule turned V (aka Uppercase Upside-Down V), and I can see it's lowercase equivalent fine. Wikipedia says it's from the Latin alphabet but is from the language "Temne." I wonder why I can't see it. confused

Otherwise, I see the Esh, Ezh, Wynn, Open O, and Latin Epsilon quite fine (and I recognized them, too).

·:No more Wynn... I replaced her. Now there's a backwards S in her place.

I still can't see the other one, though.

And you changed the order, so now it's...

... but I can't see #3. neutral

·:If you're running Windows XP you should download the Vista fonts. I'll provide a link tomorrow when I have them uploaded. They're legal too! You can get them by downloading a trial of any Office 2007 program or Office 2007's Powerpoint Viewer... but I'm going to offer them separate from all that because it's stupid to download it just for the fonts.

I'm pretty sure most of those letters aren't used in any natural language.

From what I've gathered, some of these symbols are used in African languages, but other than that they are mostly just IPA symbols, or symbols from obsolete languages (Like the Wynn, but he took that one out).

The backwards S was an old way to indicate a tone in some weird variation of Chinese called Zhuang.

Can only see 5... the middle-left one's a question mark for me.
