Reproduce Medieval Italian Manuscripts!

TransRoman Medieval for Windows

TransRoman Medieval for Windows includes professional-quality, hinted, scalable TrueType® and Type 1 fonts containing the Latin alphabet plus special characters and diacritics necessary to reproduce medieval Italian manuscripts. The primary font is TransRomanMedieval plain. Complementing this is TransRomanUp plain, which contains the superscripted lowercase English alphabet for overstriking both lowercase and uppercase English letters. It also includes a raised strike-through, a raised period and a raised medial dot to be used in combination with the superscripted overstriking letters. Hard copy artwork for distinctive medieval characters provided by Katherine Brown.

The fonts install into Microsoft® Windows XP, 2000, NT, Me, 98, 95, or 3.1x, and work with all Windows XP-, 2000-, NT-, Me-, 98-, 95- and 3.1x-compatible applications that allow the user to select fonts from a font menu. The Type 1 fonts require Adobe Type Manager® in Windows Me/98/95/3.1. 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.
