Chronicle Text version 0.23 is now available on the web.

The following additional ligatures are included in this latest version.

From the web page [Some further Private Use Area code points for ligatures.](http://www.users.globalnet.co.uk/~ngo/ligatur5.htm) the following.

U+E760 ba  
U+E761 be  
U+E762 bo  
U+E763 da  
U+E764 de  
U+E765 do  
U+E766 ha  
U+E767 he  
U+E768 ho  
U+E769 pa  
U+E76A pe  
U+E76B po  
U+E76C pp  
U+E76D va  
U+E76E ve  
U+E76F vu

U+E77A cha  
U+E77B che  
U+E77C cho

U+E77E ppe

I have also added hypothetical ligatures into U+E716 to U+E71B. These are bi, di, hi, pi, pl, vi respectively. These were decided upon so as to go conveniently with the ligatures above which begin with b, d, h, p and v.

People producing a simulation using WordPad using the Alt method for entering characters will hopefully find the following decimal values helpful.

E710 hexadecimal is 59152 decimal.

E760 hexadecimal is 59232 decimal.

E770 hexadecimal is 59248 decimal.

Whether the hypothetical ligatures were used in practice is unknown, yet hopefully the ligatures in the font will be helpful for trying a simulation and getting a feel for how it might have worked.

The Chronicle Text font has its own thread within these forums.

> Supplementary note of 2 December 2009 I have been reading this post and realize that it is in need of updating. I had the idea of the font being shareware at that time but gave up that idea not long afterwards. The font is now a free download. End of supplementary note of 2 December 2009 I have just published the Chronicle Text font onto the web. The font is as follows. [http://www.users.globalnet.co.uk/~ngo/CHRONTXT.TTF](http://www.users.globalnet.co.uk/~ngo/CHRONTXT.TTF) The file with the shareware licensing information is as follows.

The Chronicle Text font is available directly from the following web page.
