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.

maybe you can do this announce better, because you can explain the
importance of WLCY fonts to west people better than i. :)

that would be nice.
