Those examples and your colors suggest that there may be two kinds of f, distinguished by the position where the curvy stroke starts: at the top of the leg (blue) or at some distance below it (cyan). I don't recall anyone pointing that out before. Are those two kinds of f distinguished in Rene's IVT file?
I wondered myself whether the presence or absence of a hook at the end of the curvy stroke could be significant. Like, p without hook = t, p with hook = te. I spent many hours last year re-transcribing the hooked occurrences of p and f as w and z, intending to check that theory with statistics. But I never got around to this last step, because I saw signs that the theory was false -- such as there being a continuous gradient between hooked and non-hooked, with no clear separation of the two types.
All the best, --stolfi
