Have you got a copy of an old book called 'Grammatography' - I don't know
the date - 1800's sometime - or any other info as my third-generation
photocopy has managed to lose the frontispiece - but it is a wonder of
a book if you are interested in character sets.  Check out the search
facilities of some *major* library and you might find it.

[Or in a *real* pinch you could have mine though it won't survive another
generation of photocopies and still be visible, and I'm reluctant to part
with it unless I have to, so have a *good* look around first! :-)]
