Junicode is an advanced Unicode font for medieval scholars, including the
|
|
full range of characters for languages written in the Latin script. It
|
|
also mostly implements the recommendation of the Medieval Unicode Font
|
|
Initiative (MUFI).
|
|
|
|
The following languages are fully supported: Old and Middle English, Old
|
|
Icelandic, Runic, Latin, Gothic and Sanskrit transliterations, IPA
|
|
(International Phonetic Alphabet) and Greek (based on the Greek Double
|
|
Pica cut by Alexander Wilson of Glasgow in the eighteenth century).
|
|
|
|
Junicode supports the following OpenType features: f and long-s ligatures,
|
|
contextual alternates (calt), horizontal kerning (kern), discretionary
|
|
ligatures (circled numbers and letters via dlig), glyph (de)composition
|
|
(ccmp), correct positioning of combining marks -- mark-to-base (mark) and
|
|
mark-to-mark (mkmk), small caps (smcp and c2sc), old-style figures (onum),
|
|
super- and subscript numbers (sups and subs), Unicode fractions (frac) and
|
|
mirrored runes (rtlm).
|
|
|

Junicode's OpenType style sets provide support for Nordic and Insular
|
|
letter-forms, Old English typography, enlarged minuscules, swash letters,
|
|
