This project exists only to improve compatibility and ease of use for software that doesn't support easily switching to alternative glyphs. Lokxend & ReReadex Pro are completely based on Lexend and Readex Pro but are in no way related to them; Lokxend & ReReadex have different names to avoid confusion and to facilitate finding them (typing (LE ≠ LO)(REA ≠ RER)).
