Well, some of the letters are of reasonable quality, but some
(including some more common ones) are not---there's too much unslanted
math greek masquerading as IPA.

I am doing my own letters as I need them; at the moment I only have a
few, but some are, IMHO, better formed than the Washington letters,
viz.
epsilon, eth, iota, yogh.
If anybody wants them, mail me.
