There is some regularity to their structure which makes this a 
tantalizing possiblity.  There is also some predictability to how the 
stylizations are derived.  But ultimately you would have to choose 
between styles.  And with that much work, you had better like the style 
you choose when you finish.

I found those last observations were also relevant when modelling them 
in a modeller. And I actually did think of you, and your forays into 
font design, when I was doing these and struggling with such choices.

Yes, the acanthus meshes are kind of impressive in themselves.  Another 
thought was to render as a 'wire' cage with little cylinders joining the 
vertices.
