Comment 5 for bug 670768

Malcolm: Yes, I remember the use of the f-with-hook on Apple Macs during the Mac OS 7 era (15 years ago) but it is several years since I remember really seeing it in use (those with modern OS X Macs may be able to correct me). I think it /may/ have had an italic representation on those machines.

Speaking to a Dutch friend about their memories of the Dutch Guilder (gone since 2002 with the coming of the Euro), upright was perfectly acceptable, but it tended to be italic [especially] when handwritten for speed, up to the point that it could sometimes be nearly 'S' shaped.

It's entirely possible that with those two (now historical) uses that the graph might cross whereby the primary future use is going to be for written Ewe... if this is indeed the case, the decision becomes far more clear cut (and if going to an upright f-with-hook, then the italic is still available in the italics).
