A quick test to see how many UCAS fonts you’ve got installed. At last count, I had fifteen—including some too obscure to be listed here. And a few legacy fonts just to round things out.
Here are the UCAS legacy fonts in every excruciating detail: Prosyl, Nunacom, Naamajut and AiPaiNunavik, with a detour to Aujaq. With keyboard layouts and more than you ever wanted to know about long vowels.

and never managed to unlearn it, I give you . . . SuperGreek for the Intel iMac.
