The wlcy* virtual fonts are the wncy* fonts with the 
troublesome tho useful ligatures simply removed.

I am unreservedly in favor of the AMS accepting your
support for the wlcy* fonts.  That seems an ideal
arrangement.  I failed to promote this to Barbara while she
was preoccupied with the math additions to unicode.
My sincere apologies.

There was the question whether << and >> should be
ligatures, and a couple of others.  That is an issue
Barbara may now have an opinion on.

              Best wishes,

                        Laurent S.
