The Spanish voice should also present problems with b/v, s/z, c/j and y.
The Portuguese voice might do better with the consonants, but worse
with the vowels.
Is there a Slovenian or Croatian voice? Those are often said to be
very good for Esperanto, which has a phoneme inventory much like that
of Lojban. (Although looking at their Wikipedia articles, it seems
they lack [h] too.)
