Oops, I think Joe meant "does all Norse glyphs" -- all the accented Roman
letters, plus Thorn and Eth for Iceland(*) (and Old Norse). We had Thorn
in Old and Middle English too, as anyone who ever had to read "Sir Gawain
and the Green Knight" in the original will attest.
Kermit does not, however, as yet handle Runes, but I am pleased to announce
that a computer encoding for the Futhark has been developed and as soon as
somebody makes a code page (or PC font) for it, Kermit will be ready :-)
OK, so it's April 1st and you think I'm kidding? Point your Web browser
