Re: [lojban] Re: Dscript + Lojban ???

Thanks.  We appreciate your efforts and welcome your script for its aesthetic -- and perhaps eventually practical -- value.  If we seem a little touchy, it is -- as someone has noted -- that conlangs are liable to be approached by conglyphers whose interest is mainly in seeing their glyphery in use, not in the language they are offering it to, and who, consequently, don't stick around long.  As a practical matter, I would offer your glyphery to a variety of conlangs -- always as an interesting flourish, not as a compelling replacement, as most conlangs rather like that sort of thing (it is a part -- not really even peripheral -- of coning). 

BTW, why do you skip the historically and mathematically significant base 60 system (covered by the 100, I suppose)?

really? ok

well... please judge me based on merit as opposed to prejudice.

Dscript is not some little "font", i have put a decade into it, and im not joking around when I say I am interested in applying to Lojban.

Lojban is the first I have approached, been thinking long and hard about whether to tie myself to a langauge, and if so which one. (tie in the sense that i would have to invest alot fo my time, dscript of course will always work for any alphabet)

We only have words to support hex and lower. You're welcome to do anything you'd like, but the official writing system shall remain Roman. We have a number of alternate scripts already, so perhaps look at how those have been done? As long as you understand that we're not going to adopt your script and likely nobody will help you because we have a lot of other stuff to do you're welcome to do whatever you'd like. Post examples when it's done as it looks rather interesting.
(Sorry if I seem curt, but you are by no means the first person to come along and want to adopt a writing system for Lojban. We get one of you every couple of months and they never stick around.)
