I just tried
texdoc phaistos
and looked at the macro names for the glyphs. I noticed one irregularity:
\PHgaunlet
The word for that object is gauntlet. If `gaunlet' is not a typo
in the doc file, it would be good to add the proper name
\PHgauntlet
in the documentation and TeX code. Otherwise, we'll be propagating a
mistake like that Adobe made in *.afm files with
guillemotright and guillemotleft,
which should have been
guillemetright and guillemetleft;
they confused the French name for bracketing delimiters with the name
for a sea bird (the two words are etymologically related, however).
