The Klingon fonts I have come from the KLI. Their disk contains
three character sets in two fonts. Since KnannaK is obviously not
talking about the "Klingonesque" Roman (A B C... in Klingon-looking
style), if s/he is discussing KLI fonts only the KLIpIqaDmey are at
issue.
The two character sets (the so-called Okuda and Mandel [no relation]
glyphs), are on the upper and lower case. For its own publications,
the KLI uses a set of 26 Okuda glyphs, assigning them to the
uppercase keys A-Y and ' (Z is the KLI symbol); the C key gives the
character they use for ch. So that's not it.
The Mandel glyphs are on lowercase. I never use them, because the
correspondence given for them is useless for writing tlhIngan Hol;
but there is a letter mapped as "th". It seems, however, to be on
the n key.
So what's the point of this missive? vISovbejbe'. Maybe just as an
illustration of the point that a little more information from KnannaK
(what font? where'd you get it?) would have saved some effort.
