On Friday 23 March 2007 10:25 am I wrote in this thread as follows.
Yesterday morning I wrote a poem and, thinking of publishing it, I thought that my Sonnet to a Renaissance Lady font might be a suitable choice of font.
I then remembered the Sonnet to Renaissance Lady Q font and decided to try setting the poem in an html page with a view to displaying it using Mozilla Firefox 3.0.8 and observing the effect of whatever ligatures were chosen for the display.
Here is a transcript of the apricots.htm html file.
Apricots poem
The apricots grew beneath the same sun as the apples in an English orchard:
yet beneath different constellations of stars.
Food canning technology preserved them near where they grew.
Now they are enjoyed in England.
In order for the poem to be displayed by Firefox 3.0.8 as intended, the font Sonnet to Renaissance Lady Q needs to be installed on the local computer.
