Re: Balgruf

Is the name used for the font the subject of copyright? Would you consider renaming the font and then uploading it directly to this forum please? Although it is a very nice looking font and has great potential use, alas the name is somewhat concerning to me due to my concerns over possible copyright...

Re: Balgruf

I tried the online text test using the twelve characters needed for Esperanto and I am pleased to note that they are included in the font.

ĈĉĜĝĤĥĴĵŜŝŬŭ

Ĉu neĝas? This is the Esperanto for "Is it snowing?".

Re: Sonnet to a Renaissance Lady

In July 2020 I started a specialist magazine. For the body text I used Goudita SF, a Venetian style font that was bundled with the desktop publishing software, Serif PagePlus.

Re: Template question

Ah, I have managed to do it.

Make a copy of the 1 page Signatures template then change the code points to

That produces a 2-page template.

Re: Clarendon

You might try to look for the typeface Modern Roman or Modern No. 20. It might be a matter of the name Clarendon being a trademark or something like that.
