Rationale

The idea of this font is to allow users to produce the basic phonemes of standard English (official, southern UK), French (Île de ) and Swedish (Södra Svealand, rikssvenska) with single keystrokes. English phonemes diverging from those of their near- est equivalent grapheme are ideally assigned to the Shift position of that grapheme, e.g. on D, on E, on I. Nasalised vowels are on number keys 1 2 3 4 5. Otherwise phonetic characters are, where possible, assigned to keys of graphemes they visually resemble (e.g. on H) or to keys in their physical or phonetic vicinity. This font does not cater for regional variants.
