Font test

This: Otidaxsui should look like this: a bunch of symbols, mostly connected together but with a space in the middle, and a line with a curly thing at the bottom, and a thing that looks like a lightning bolt... (this is not as easy to describe as Lwaitel's name was), not this: Otidaxsui.

If you see any problems with the font, please let me know. It works on my computer, but FontForge listed a bunch of problems that seem like they would be time-consuming to try to fix, so I don't know if it's actually valid and will work on other computers.
