Message:

Capitalize proper nouns within the page.

As a consequence, simplify 'other non-latin alphabets' to
'other alphabets' rather than 'other non-Latin alphabets'.

Correct the link to my own 'Substitute latin fonts' item, which
remains lowercase, to go directly to it and therefore make a
separate link for the font pages of that site as a whole.
