Valerie - I took a quick glance at the fonts. They're beautiful, as expected. I wondered about one of the symbols. I took a course in JSL back in 1977 at California State University at Northridge, and I remember KE as being a FOUR-handshape as opposed to a B-handshape. Could you double-check that, perhaps with Mark Penner? I can't help you with the keyboard arrangement in Japan.
