  Useful font for medievalists
Posted by: Paul Ferguson - 12-30-2023, 04:10 PM - Forum: Alchemical symbolism and imagery - Replies (1)

Just in case you have to type unusual characters such as a v with a diaeresis, allow me to recommend Junicode, a "font family especially for medieval scholars, but containing an extensive enough selection of Unicode characters to be widely useful".
