A friend of mine just showed me a TrueType Klingon font. Ordinarily, this would
not merit a post, but two conflicting (I think) pieces of evidence have totally
confused me. The name of the font is Klinzhai, which would seem to point to its
having been designed for Klingonaase, but one of the characters in the font
contains Laurence Schoen's name. Has Schoen been involved with Klingonaase?
Should the company who marketed it have called it Qo'noS? Did they just swipe
Schoen's name? Am I being totally stupid here and overlooking something really
obvious? ;>
