Toki ale o!
Here I present to you a proposal of tokipona alphabet with PC fonts, in order to use it with the computer too.
Some examples:
Here the font to use it:

New proposal of alphabet with PC fonts
Re: New proposal of alphabet with PC fonts
I think it is sensible to have one glyph per syllable rather than per (Latin) letter. Moreover, I like the idea of making an "n" at the end of a syllable a diacritic mark.

Re: New proposal of alphabet with PC fonts
I tend to stay out of these discussions, but two notes. The printed version has three pairs that look to be easily confused, the informal forms more. This is about comparable to the Latin forms, so no particular advantages, bout the additional disadvantage of unfamiliarity. No obvious mnemonic for the new forms (did I miss it?). But prettynenough for monuments and party invites.
