Voynich text in other characters
#9
The problem with presenting text in the Voynich script is that it automatically makes the text look 'realistic' even if perhaps it isn't. This was evident when Gordon Rugg first presented his theory about the Cardan Grille method. The generated text really looked like 'Voynichese' to the more general public, but not to those who were very familiar with it.

The way to avoid this is to use one of the common transcription alphabets. I don't see any advantage in using other symbols.
