2. Outlines have been kept simple to limit file size.
4. The intention of the font is to include everything in Unicode useful to a substantial number of medievalists, but the character set has been limited to around 1000 glyphs to keep file size reasonable. Many characters from the [Medieval Unicode Font Initiative](https://skaldic.abdn.ac.uk/m.php?p=mufi), present in the designer's [Junicode](https://github.com/psb1558/Junicode-New/tree/master/legacy) font, can be represented with combining diacritics.

# Downloading and Installing

It is strongly suggested that you avoid downloading Elstob from commercial sites,
as these do not generally offer the latest version, and some downloads may carry
viruses.

For the Mac, a Homebrew package is available. Use this if possible, as it will
simplify updating to the latest version.

For Linux users, packages exist for Debian, Arch Linux, Parrot, and others. Check
your distribution for availability.

Windows users, Mac users who cannot use Homebrew, and Linux users whose distributions
do not offer Elstob should download from
[this site](https://github.com/psb1558/Elstob-font/releases/) and follow the
instructions for installing on their systems.
