NT Mss. Font Collection -
VaticanusLS includes three
fonts:
VaticanusLS
contains the letters, breathing
marks, accents and other special characters necessary to reproduce the
standard character form text of Codex Vaticanus in the "original hand."
Because many users may want to type the original hand, but also display
the breathing marks and accents of the reinforcing hand, the VaticanusLS
font includes these diacritical marks in the same positions as the
VaticanusRLS font.
VaticanusRLS
contains the letters, breathing marks,
accents and other special characters necessary to reproduce the standard
character form text of Codex Vaticanus in the "reinforced hand" from the
Middle Ages. The "R" in the font name stands for "reinforced." The character
strokes of the reinforced hand are typically slightly thinner than the
original hand. The VaticanusRLS font is the same in layout and content as
the VaticanusLS font, with the exception that the alphabetic letters and
ligatures follow the handwriting style of the reinforcing hand.
VaticanusBLS
contains many of the additional special
letters, numbers, and symbols that embellish Codex Vaticanus. This sample
shows many of these characters, and demonstrates how the bars and scrolls
that decorate the codex are created.
Using these three fonts
together you can type text just as it was originally copied by its scribe in
325-350 A.D. This sample from the beginning of Romans was typed in Microsoft
Word for Macintosh, opened in Word for Windows (with no conversion
necessary) and a screen shot was then made of the text.
The secret to creating the above text sample is to type it
in your word processor using tables, like this:
The above text was then imported into a graphics program,
arranged, and color was applied. It faithfully reproduces the beginning of
Romans in Codex Vaticanus. This shows you what is possible using the
VaticanusLS fonts.

The fonts install into Microsoft® Windows XP, 2000, NT, Me, 98, or 95
and work with all Windows XP-, 2000-, NT-, Me-, 98-, and 95-compatible
applications that allow the user to select fonts from a font menu. (A custom
version compatible with Windows 3.1 is available by request.) The
Type 1
fonts require Adobe Type Manager® in Windows Me/98/95. The product includes
a User's Manual, keyboard layout chart(s), and Character Code Tables showing
every character in the font(s). The included Keyboard Switcher (keyboard driver)
allows access to
four characters per key (instead of the normal two) and alternate keyboard layouts.
The fonts alone (without Keyboard Switcher) will install into Linux,
but Linux users must provide alternate keyboard input for characters in the
extended character set. These fonts will print to any printer at
the highest quality allowed by your printer.
