Laptop diary tool in REV - Glyphs

[Mark Schonewille]

Hi Richmond,

Kresten may correct me, but I believe the reason for having so many  
glyphs and being able to customize the use of glyphs is the cultural  
depencency of the symbols used. If one needs a round house, one may  
add it to Phenomenalog.

Best,

Mark
