So this whole question, of which I still can't quite grasp the purpose, is related to diplomatic ciphers after all.
The visual similarity of q with t and p and a proposed link with diplomatic ciphers.
Given that the diplomatic ciphers used in Northern Italy were rather well kept secrets, it seems quite unlikely that they could have been a source of inspiration for anyone inventing the Voynich MS script.
Only very few people would have access to them, and those few would not divulge this information, and rather not use them in open public documents.
And yes, I do think that the shapes of q , t and p are similar.
