Frank’s Mysteries at the Print Museum
While poking around the Museum of Printing’s archive of more than 5,000 Linotype Company font designs, Frank discovered that they had once created a font for Cree, the only Native American language for which there was a Linotype font. Why Cree? The search for the answer takes Frank back to World War II and the US military’s use of Native American “code talkers” to convey classified military information.

I sent the link to a kiwi friend, and received this reply.
Thanks Graham, fascinating. Made a few connections for me. My father was an engineer officer attached to the Maori Battalion during the Italian campaign and unusually for a Pakeha engineer spoke some te Reo which he had learned for a similar reason, it seems they spoke Maori when using the radios in the expectation that the Germans couldn't understand them. Not sure about written communications...not a problem like Cree of course as English letters were used anyway. Wish I had paid more attention when he was alive.
