I request some of you to please revise your reviews, because it is clearly written that "the extension is just a sample" at the bottom of the page. At the about section: " About *These are only a sample, it's really hard for the device to render so many fonts!* They appear depending on the fonts installed on the system, if you want more you can try to download this fonts: BabelStone Han Quivira Deja Vu Unicode Fonts for Ancient Scripts Code2000 WAZU JAPAN's Gallery of Unicode Fonts All about utf: The Unicode Consortium " Look at the line I marked with stars, and then send your new post.
