Re: Fonts

Gentium Plus was/is a free font that had a hefty character set. As mentioned above, it's also a free font in Google Suite. Another free font, Avdira, was very slick with very nice Cyrillic and Greek characters, though I think it did not do extended IPA.

Re: If a species evolved writing rather than inventing it, what do you think that written language would look like?

It might not be visibly written at all. In addition to scratches and similar types of markings, animals can leave messages by scents (e.g. pheremones, musk, urine). A sentient species could develop a type of writing system which would be almost invisible to the eye, but that was smelled. I am remind...

Re: Chess

@ Salmoneus It's an old meme. Specifically, these are all depictions of Sabazius - Sabazius rides on his horse (originally always from left to right), with his right hand held high behind his head holding a lance. He's hunting something, usually a boar, and either the boar, his hound, or both are of...
