Okay, made an alternative set. If people like these samples, I'll make the
changes to all other ogonek-containing characters.
I've used the guidelines I've found for doing so. Euphoria Script is a
hybrid font anyway, but I'd like readability first, as I think the base
characters contain enough visual flare to keep with the theme.
Thoughts?

Thanks Krzysztof, I like the ogoneks on the a, e, and E,
the A however, I'd prefer to stick with traditional ogonek off the right
leg/foot of the A, in accordance with:

I'll work up an alternative for this one.
Thanks for your help!
