Thank you very much Nablator for posting this great book about medieval characters. It seems quite clear that "caractères à lunettes" are astral signs.
That Roger Bacon defended the characters as legitimate natural magic can explain why the VMS was related to him since the manuscript was known.
I would like to quote in French a paragraph of the book that shows something I think: that the script of the VMS can be a magic visual and astronomical code with no need for words.
"En effet, si les caractères sont des signes susceptibles d'une efficacité magique en vertu de leur forme, que les met en relation directe avec les astres, il importe en définitive assez peu qu'ils possèdent une signification linguistique ou non".
