Look real close people. The font from KLI and the font displayed by
Paramount are 'very' similar but some of the symbles ARE different. Maybe
you tera'nganpu' aren't sophisticated enough to notice; my Vulcan side
noticed the differences within three seconds after looking at the font. I
had this argument once before; they too failed to see.
