I am concerned about any product in which the producers are confused 
about whether it is released or not.

One font that has caught my eye over of the past year or two is 
Everson.  It is a fixed pitch full non-CJK unicode font.  It is not 
free.  It is available for Windows and OS X.  Maybe RunRev can $obtain$ 
this and include with studio and enterprise a 
resale-as-part-of-made/with/Revolution-products license for them.  
Maybe RunRev can $motivate$ the designer to extend these to other 
platforms.  This can work as a great background unicode font.  I like 
the idea of a font that has Greek Extended, Phonetic Extended and 
Control Pictures all in the same font.

I have no idea how Everson will work for multi-platform applications; 
maybe the same problems will be there.

I haven't tried Everson Mono Unicode, yet.
