Code2000 is a work-in-process. It currently (Version 1.171) has over 60000 glyphs.
It is still a bit rough in spots. I am constantly working to improve it and add more glyphs.
Although it is more-or-less readable at 12 - 18 point, it is much clearer at about 24 point. Some of the dingbats should be at least 36 point. With font- smoothing it looks good at normal sizes.
Windows 98 (and up) has font-smoothing built-in. Microsoft has font-smoothing available for free download for Windows 95. If you're running Windows 95 you should definitely get font smoothing.
To download font smoothing for Windows 95, go to http://www.microsoft.com/typography/grayscal/smoother.htm
Instructions for installing and activating Windows 95 font-smoothing are included in the package.
To enable font smoothing in Windows 98, Windows 2000, and Windows M.E.:
1) Click My Computer
2) Click Control Panel
3) Click Display
4) Click Effects tab
5) Put check in box called "Smooth Edges of Screen Fonts"
All of the glyphs are mine, painstakingly drawn one point at a time. I try to design glyphs which are true to the script they represent based on as many samples as I can obtain.
Some of the scripts are only partially represented in the font.

KNOWN ERRORS:
HEBREW: Some combinations of Hebrew non-spacing marks are still not supported, but the OpenType tables are almost completed

OPENTYPE:
Code2000 now has OpenType tables for some scripts. Gurmukhi, Devanagari, Bengali, and Tamil tables are fairly well advanced, but some tinkering remains to be done with respect to mark positioning in some cases. The Bengali glyphs are not quite finished, and several are a bit rough.
