Elstob font

A font for medievalists (and others), Elstob is a variable font, especially suitable for web use, but also comes in a desktop version. In order to keep file sizes manageable, the font contains fewer than 1000 characters; but these include all Unicode characters commonly used by scholars of European medieval languages. The font covers all modern European languages using the Latin script, and also Runic and the International Phonetic Alphabet. OpenType features include numerous stylistic variants, automatic conversion to Norse and Insular letter-shapes, automatic transliteration into runic script, automatic substitution of long s for round s, and alternative number-forms. The package contains a document containing specimens and instructions for using the OpenType features. This pre-release incorporates changes mainly for users of MS Word. The "desktop" version includes a Word template that enables many of the font's features.
