Rgreekl2.

ttf Copyright 2006 Vernon Eugene Kooy PhD

This font is an expanded version of earlier versions, hence named Rgreekl2, which stands for
Renaissance Greek with Ligatures version 2.0. It is a large font with approximately 960 glyphs and
uses Unicode WGL4 numbering to accommodate the number of characters. However, semantically It
is not a Unicode font. It is beta encoded similar to other Greek fonts which use beta encoding. This
font is freeware and may be used and distributed freely. I retain the copyright however, in order to
make improvements, expand it, or otherwise come out with an improved version. It is not an imitation
of any particular font such as those of Robert Estienne, Holbein or Aldus Manutius. It is rather a
composite font which incorporates many glyphs (sorts) from each of the many early printers. It is
hoped that this font gains a modest distribution and not be a mere curiosity. The font is meant to imitate
early printed Greek from the age of incunabula to the end of the 18th century. It is not the intention of
this font to make Greek any more difficult or obscure than it already is for beginning students. The font
is essentially a font for scholars.

This font is organized in such a way that it can be used either as a standard Greek font or a font with
Ligatures. The basic Latin section contains control codes and keyboard characters for standard Greek
with ligatures for kai\, ou and ou=. The Latin supplement section contains Unicode control codes,
prepositional prefixes, alternate letter forms and essential diacriticals. These two sections are all that
is necessary to write Greek in a Renaissance style. The Latin extended A section is used for two or
three letter combinations which more adequately imitate the style of Renaissance typesetters. The
Latin extended B section contains characters which are variants of those given in the previous section
as well as some characters from earlier minuscule forms (used in some Renaissance fonts), entire
words found in most Renaissance printed books and a number of combining characters used to make
up other ligatures not previously included.

This font has a number of blank spaces in the character charts. The reason for this is twofold, 1- for
further developments and 2- because the software I used to create the .ttf file would overwrite some
Unicode control characters, if I wrote to those character positions. These are marked in the charts by
.
Depending on which version of Windows and which version of MSWORD the user has, some
characters may not display by the usual method of Alt+xxxx where xxxx is the decimal value of the
character code. This is a windows problem and can be worked around by using the Insert Symbol
method. It is suggested that the user create for himself a template called Rgreekl.dot where the
preferences and shortcut keys to the various characters can be defined.

The main source I used for this font was initially the Portus edition of Proclus Diadochus' Platonic
Theology published in Frankfurt in 1618. In addition I have used and consulted various internet
sources and the articles by Coleman, Ingram and Wallace as well as a number of books printed by
Stephanus, Holbein, Manutius and Sheldon Theater.

For those who would use the font mainly as a standard Greek font of "Old Face" design I have
provided a number of symbols for use in the critical apparatus of a text. Because of the size of
ascenders and descenders there is more leading in this font than normal. If one wishes one could
partially solve this effect with paragraph line spacing.

I cannot say that this font is complete in the sense that every Renaissance Ligature is represented;
many early printers had at least 500 sorts in their boxes and some had more than a thousand. The
Renaissance printers imitated the minuscule current at their time, and the glyphs they used were
determined by the minuscule. Thus this font can also be used as a late minuscule font. If there is any
sort (Glyph) conspicuously missing which the user finds essential, I would appreciate hearing from
him/her in that regard, since I think a font of this type is never fully finished and is of necessity a
work in progress.

Keyboards vary from manufacturer to manufacturer and the above is only an example. The reader will have to
interpret the above to meet his/her layout.

For characters above #161 hold down the Alt key while typing 0+ the decimal value of the character on the
numeric keyboard. (some keyboards and some characters may require an enter). For characters above 256 your
word processor must be set up for foreign language support. If the Alt+ method does not work for all characters
(Windows 2000 and lower) the user may insert the character through the insert symbol command on the pull
down.

Note: that if your word processor uses "smart quotes" these must be turned off in order to display character #034
and #039 correctly. Character 039 is the mark of elision and not a smooth breathing. It is higher above the base
than the smooth breathing. Characters 033 and 045 are used for footnotes. Arabic numerals are provided for the
convenience of pagination.

Characters 0198-0205 are forms of the article. Characters 0206-0213 are diacriticals for initial upper case
characters. They are so designed as separate (non-combining) characters and may be typed before the character to
which they apply, or may be used as combining characters for narrow characters and #0161 and typed after the
appropriate character. Characters 0192-0197 are combinations of accents and breathings and like all other
diacriticals are typed after the character to which they apply. Those diacriticals which are not obvious in the
diacritical section (0768-0869) are marked with their meaning. The listing of characters is unfortunately not
completely alphabetical. This is done because some characters are required to hold their position to make the text
as you type codes work ( ) properly.

Characters 0768, 0769, 0787, 0788, and 0855-0858 are diacriticals designed for use with two character ligatures.
Characters 0859-0863 are in this revision no longer blank.

Characters 0180, 0181, and 0214 are for numbers, as well as 0377-0383. Bullets are provided in the Unicode
Geometric Shapes section 9632-9679 as well as common arrows 8592-8597. The remaining letter forms are
combining characters which appear above the letter to which they are attributed. If the user would want them in a
superscript position, he/she should type a space between the letter and the combining character.

Characters 9657 and 9658 are combining characters for numbered bullets. The user should type the letter/number
first and then type the character and an additional space. 880 and 881 are spacing characters designed to allow
proper connections of Miniscule characters 880 is a narrow space (approximately 1/3 normal spacebar space) and
881 is a micro-space (approximately 1/6 normal spacebar space). These are useful often for combining characters
of the other sections also allowing a more proper connection between the elements of a ligature. See Characters

Note: It is not necessary to use a ligature simply because it is available. One should use the ligatures sparingly and
with caution as too many could make Greek more cryptic than it already is for many. Historically ligatures lost their
usefulness as the 18th century progressed, so that by the 19th century they have all but disappeared. Many of the
ligatures in the Latin Extended B section are semantically equivalent to ligatures in the Latin Extended A section they
are offered for the user's preference.

Extensive use of the spacing characters 880 and 881 are used in the above for justification and placement of
diacriticals. Fonts differ from printer to printer in the Renaissance and this font does not exactly match any given font,
but is a composite font to represent the various ligatures. Therefore one should not expect an exact representation of a
given text but only a close approximation.

Some Renaissance fonts use earlier formal book-hand characters, so they are included here.
Some of these characters are used in the examples above. Some early fonts of the Renaissance
