Yep, that's how this whole thing started :)
There's no precedent that I'm aware of for this sort of thing.
I'm happy to leave things as they stand.

(unless they're just Zapf knock-offs, which is highly likely, in fact  
-- I've a couple of so-called "Zapf Chancery" shapes lying around  
from somewhere...never taken much look but filed them away in my head  
for interest's sake. The original metal Zapf Chancery indeed had many
