A font that contains all the symbols of the famous Disc of
|
|
Phaistos, together with a LaTeX package. The disc was 'printed'
|
|
by stamping the wet clay with some sort of punches, probably
|
|
around 1700 BCE. The font is available in Adobe Type 1 and
|
|
OpenType formats (the latter using the Unicode positions for
|
|
the symbols). There are those who believe that this Cretan
|
|
script was used to 'write' Greek (it is known, for example,
|
|
that the rather later Cretan Linear B script was used to write
|
|
Greek), but arguments for other languages have been presented.
