Junicode
Junicode (short for Junius-Unicode) is a Unicode font for medievalists. The current version is a beta; the selection of characters and the arrangement of the Private Use Area are subject to change. Your comments, suggestions and bug reports will be a great help to me as I complete the project.
Junicode currently contains 2438 characters in the regular style (the italic, bold and bold italic styles are less complete). It implements these Unicode ranges completely (or nearly so):
- Basic Latin
- Latin 1 Supplement
- Latin Extended A
- Latin Extended B
- IPA Extensions
- Spacing Modifier Letters
- Greek
- Greek Extended
- Combining Diacritical Marks
- Runic
- Phonetic Extensions
- Latin Extended Additional
- Number Forms
- Enclosed Alphanumerics
General Punctuation and Superscripts and Subscripts are nearly complete, and a selection of characters of interest to medievalists has been made from numerous other ranges. Instructions ("hints") for improved screen display are in the Xgridfit TrueType instructing language.
To download, go to the Junicode Download Page and click "Download" next to the latest release. Then click on the zip archive (e.g. "junicode-0-6-5.zip"). Follow the instructions to get the file. If you want the source code (you must have a recent version of FontForge to make use of it), get the tar.gz archive instead.
