[INDOLOGY] Fwd: [psb1558/Junicode-font] Release v2.003 - Junicode version 2.003

[Dominik Wujastyk]

Junicode explicitly supports Classical Sanskrit in transliteration.  With
this release 2, Junicode is now an extremely impressive and beautiful font
with the widest character set for medieval and early European language work
of any I know.

Best wishes,
Dominik

Junicode 2 is a major reworking of the widely used font for students and
scholars of medieval Europe (though it also serves scholars in a number of
other disciplines). This version continues to track the development of the
Medieval Unicode Font Initiative, with its wealth of specialized medieval
characters, but it also provides many OpenType features that allow users to
access MUFI characters in accessible ways.

Junicode is now an extended font family, with five weights (Light, Regular,
Medium, SemiBold, and Bold) and five widths (Condensed, SemiCondensed,
Regular, SemiExpanded, and Expanded). This makes for a large number of font
files (19 each for roman and italic, omitting a few unsuitable styles), but
the font also comes in a variable version, in which all the capabilities of
the traditional “static” version—and more!—are packaged in just two files.
The variable version is especially suitable for web use, but variable fonts
can also be used in Adobe InDesign, LibreOffice, LuaTeX, and other
text-processing apps (see the file JunicodeManual.pdf for details).

This is mostly a bug-fix version. It (1) fixes several non-functioning tag
sequences; (2) fixes an incompatibility with InDesign that caused OpenType
features to misbehave in that program; (3) improved several outlines and
adjusted badly positioned anchors.
