My first post in this thread referred to the following web page.
Clicking on the illustration of some printed Latin text leads to a page specifically about that image.
There is a link to download a full resolution version of 2264 × 1209 pixels.
I have tried importing that image, all of it at once, into FontCreator and it looks good.
There are lots of letters and a number of ligatures in the image.
I noticed particularly that the i characters have the dot to the right of the vertical.
There also appear to be a number of accented vowels, of which I do not at present understand the significance.
I have noticed a number of occurrences of long s followed by i in the Latin text. I am wondering whether, for each of them, a ligature has been used or two pieces of type.
For the avoidance of doubt, whereas the image might well be used to make a partial font using FontCreator and that font might well be nice to have and use, I am not suggesting that such a font would be useful for setting Latin in the format posed in this thread. However, if a special font for the purpose is being constructed, maybe the image might provide some design ideas for the various letters of the font.
Here is a link to a thread which might be of interest.
